2019 SEARCA Agriculture and Development Seminar Series (ADSS)
The SEARCA Agriculture and Development Seminar Series (ADSS) encourages the presentation and discussion of development and research issues, as well as their implications for agricultural and rural development. It aims to contribute to a vibrant scientific exchange within, and even beyond, the Los Baños Science Community.
Interested in ADSS?
SEARCA is keen to partner with government institutions, corporations, universities, civic organizations and individuals who see the potential in ADSS and would like to explore hosting a session or series of sessions, to serve as a resource speaker or to simply suggest the next ADSS topic.
