Conference

Hi Andy -- would you please forward this to the sanet list? Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hello friends -- Please check http://www.loka.org for information about the
upcoming Community Research Network annual conference organized by the Loka
Institute. CSARE is co-sponsoring the conference, called "What Works, What
Doesn't? Community-Based Research and Strategies for Change." We know
it's a rotten time for many in agriculture, but there will be some great
sessions (both ours that are food and agriculture oriented and others that
deal with all kinds of community-based research issues). This conference
will be especially useful to producers interested and/or engaged in
farm-based research, organizers of farmer-research networks or
community-based research, researchers involved with producers or community
groups, and organizers or leaders of institutional change. As far as I
know, the Loka Institute still has some scholarship funds available to
disburse. The scholarship application is on the web site. Thanks!
Elizabeth

Please come to Amherst, MA June 10-June 13 for a great gathering of
community research activists and practitioners. The following is a
run-down of CSARE's engagement in the conference. More conference info at
http://www.loka.org.

There's a lot happening the first day of the Community Research Network
(CRN) Conference. All day Thursday, June 10 there will be a Symposium on
Public Health Implications of Genetic Engineering: Applying the
Precautionary Principle sponsored by the new Association for Science in the
Public Interest.
