Dear Michael, I find this quite interesting. In fact I will pass the information onto the Chinese Rice Research Insititute in southern China. They have developed the Chinese Rice Knowledge Bank for rice production practices and this may link. A point I note is th elink to government information and thereby authorative information. I have noted that coming in some of the discussion last week. That is in addition to my raising it. Are there any examples of the google advertising approach being used? Noel

In Republic of Congo my country, the Departement of Technology Innovation just starts. The people feed specialy from Cassava and Plantain Banana. The processing of Plantain is not practiced in mean cities. Some farmers crop great amounts in villages, but sometimes, bad roads or high taxs do not allow them to sell product in towns. My idea is farmers ought to know all issues to process Plantain because it is the second staple food, and even the first in many villages in the whole country. In several african countries, partnership with chinese people should allow african people to benefit from chinese experiment. I am looking for advices and issue of training for our new departement of 'Innovation Technologique'. In the country, Scientific and Technologic Research is a national priority. I am a agricultural scientist working in the Banana and Plantain area; currently I want to work in the field of Technologic Innovation, specialy for the 'Transfert de Technologie'.
