Comments from past researcher exchange program recipients
2008: Drs. Fran Walley and Rich Farrell (University of Saskatchewan) - visited Australia
“Our visit to Victoria was a great experience for us and, from our perspective, was very productive. We want to thank the GCN for providing funding for this exchange.”
2009: Dr. Donald Smith (McGill University) - visited Embrapa Agrobiologia, Brazil
“Our visit with researchers in Brazil showed us how the country can use biofuels provide 50% of its fuel requirements with only 1% of its agricultural land. An amazing situation!”
