Networking

"Improving the flow of information among researchers"

Annual workshops will be held at least once per year and the location rotated among participating countries. The proceedings will be published as Web pages and on CD-ROM disks.
Each institution will host a Web page detailing the activities and results achieved. The Web pages will be continuously updated.
An electronic newsletter will be published by the Network Coordinator.
Pilot information systems will be established in rural areas to facilitate communication and flow of information to and from researchers
The members of the network are the institutions that were invited to the August 2000 meeting.
The representatives (national coordinators) of the member institutions should be senior researchers working in livestock-based sustainable farming systems.
