In 2006, an interdisciplinary team from the NC State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences received an International Science and Education grant from USDA-CSREES to create new programs focused on organic production and marketing. The project builds on an existing relationship between the University of North Carolina system and the nation of Uruguay to promote internationalization of NCSU research, extension, and education and strengthen cross-cultural services and programs.
The project team consists of extension agents, NCSU students, and faculty members from NCSU and NCA&T who will participate in activities in Uruguay and the United States.
To read more about the trip to Uruguay, please visit the NC Cooperative Extension Online News for an article by Natalie Hampton "Extension agents learn much from Uruguay trip".
All participants were encouraged to take part in an online blog about the day-to-day events of the trip. |
