Last month,
Makala Renouvelable project was featured in two conferences in Guelph,
providing an opportunity to share the ideas behind and achievements of the
project with various scholars and development professionals from around the
world.
At the Guelph Development Symposium, organized by
the Ontario Veterinary College, taking place May 4-7, the presentation on the
project was part of a session on value-added family agriculture, where experts
from Asia, Africa and Latin America shared innovative practices developed to
improve opportunities for small farmers. Now three years running, the Guelph
Development Symposium has seen the convergence of hundreds of academics and
practitioners in the field of development, placing special emphasis on the role
of agriculture.
Later that
month, on May 19-20, the project was the subject of a poster presentation at
the Glocal Classroom
seminar, an event organized in collaboration with universities in South Africa,
Australia and Sweden. Scholars and practitioners from all continents were here
to discuss innovations in communication and education with regards to rural
development.
