A message from Tobias DIERKS (ICRISAT) :
I am writing to you in my function as Regional Information Officer of ICRISAT (International Crops Research Center for the Semi-arid Tropics) for West and Central Africa. Our headquarter for the sub region is in Niamey, Niger while the global headquarter is in Hyderabad, South India (www.icrisat.org <http://www.icrisat.org/> ).
Your blog is very interesting and attracted my attention. You might have heard about ICRISAT and its research so I won’t get into detail but could still provide you with further details (in a digestible manner of course) if you wished so. We are one of the leading institutions of the Desert Margins program and besides that do a lot of agricultural research dealing with challenges of Climate Change and desertification.
Why I am contacting you now is because I would like to present to you our recent press release on Bioreclamation of Degraded Land and how women in the Sahel benefit from this project. Also, I attached a scientific publication published by our scientists responsible for this project. Maybe, you are interested in this subject. Please, feel free to publish them on your blog if you wished so.
However, it is always interesting for us to stay in contact and exchange with experts.
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards,
Tobias Dierks
