Follow up to a couple of technology transfer links for Jen. January 21, 2011
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you found the links useful.
You asked if there are any overwhelming crop issues (e.g.crop pests, invasive plants etc.) I can think of that have sprung up in Attachab.
I wonder how soon you need the answer. We can get any information you want - if there is sufficient motivation for the people to give it. What first springs to mind - as readily available information - is in the conversation the Dadamac team had about climate change at one of our recent weekly online meetings. The black-eyed bean crop has failed due to excessive rains. John is interested in getting the team more involved in documenting climate change and its local effect on crops:

I think your email will also arrive in my inbox as I am a member of the group. We will find out exactly how it works as we go along (I am new to using posterous with other contributors, instead of just on my own).

I look forward to hearing how your meeting goes.
