So looking forward to this week’s opportunities to get out to the field and meet the wonderful researchers and farmers involved in ACIAR World Agroforestry Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT CGIAR and many Australian and Vietnamese partners’ work!

What luck! Our Special Projects Director Cathy Reade connected with Dr Hung & Ms Loan, our 2024 Fellowship awardees, and our Qld Committee member Dr Madaline Healey UniSC: University of the Sunshine Coast at today’s visit to ACIAR forest biosecurity project.
