Dear Listers, I have just completed a Doctorate Course at the Institute of Developing Countries of the Faculty of Geography & Regional Studies of the University of Warsaw in Poland. I carried out research on the Sustainable Usage of Agrochemicals in Developing Countries - a case study of Zambia. In this work, I prove that developing countries can attain food security by utilizing agricultural methods that are sustainable. Whilst the First Green Revolution, concentrated on the usage of inputs like fertilizers, pesticides, intensive agricultural methods and hybrid plant cultivars, the Second Green Revolution must concentrate on reducing dependence on fertilizers, pesticides, intensive agricultural methods that destroy the natural environment. This can be done by using agrochemicals based on Biotechnology, Organic agriculture and new agricultural methods that reduce erosion and leaching. I would like to continue my research by creating a Database on all types of agrochemicals that can be used in Developing Countries according to the norms of Sustainable agriculture. I am now looking for institutions that can fund this research or Universities interested in these subjects. Therefore, I kindly request you to send me hints on such possibilities. For those decided, I can send my CV and publication record as soon as possible. My e-mail address is MBEWE@PLEARN.EDU.PL Thank you for any help rendered, Dr. Mbewe
