I would be very interested to talk with anyone who might
be interested in spending some time at McGill University
through this program. I am specifically thinking of
staff at US universities or similar establishments who
are interested in an organic/ecological agriculture and
food system ... we have a minor program in ecological
agriculture and a resource center (Ecological Agriculture
Projects) ... the university is also about to launch
a new school of the environment
