Roger Bairstow International Ag-Sieve Rodale Research Institute /\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./\./ The International Ag-Sieve is a bimonthly collection of gleanings of the latest and most applicable information in the field of sustainable agriculture in the Tropics. Written for people working in the field in the developing world, the Ag-Sieve contains the technical information that the scientific community needs and the practical information the field worker can use, but does not require a Ph.D. or a dictionary to understand. We link the work of the major agricultural centers, the insights of the farmer, the experience of the multidisciplinary development team, and the individual researcher into an eight page newsletter that highlights breakthroughs in sustainable agriculture. Our audience functions as an Information Exchange Network. Readers contribute information to the newsletter and also benefit from our reader information service. Recent thematic issues cover the latest in tropical forest products, training opportunities, seeds, biodiversity, urban gardening and vegetable systems, women in agriculture, and agroforestry.
