hi everyone,

I am educated as an agro-industrial microbiologist and have for the past
13 years been organising electronic conferences and networking of people
in various topics like anaerobic digestion, lactic acid fermentation,
nitrogen fixation, ecotechnology, ecocity and more recently on integrated
biosystems.

This forthcoming electronic seminar might interest many of you in this list:

Date:    8th -22nd March 1996
Title:   Kenaf for livestock feed production and tropical forest protection
by:      Dr. Carol Cross, EcoAgroForestry Trade and Development Center,
         AR, USA

SHORT SUMMARY

Agroindustrial development research projects on the use of the
multi-purpose plant - kenaf - include livestock feed, pelletizing mills,
substitution for wood in paper pulp and building materials, as well as
fiber for cloth, litter, oil absorbent, fertilizer and many more. Kenaf is
a highly potential crop for livestock feed because it can be grown in
60-70 days and is particularly useful where land is under-utilized.
Ranchers/farmers in tropical countries need livestock feed, and by growing
and processing kenaf they can create a successful livestock feed industry.
Instead of cutting old growth forests for low grade pastures, kenaf can be
grown for feed. Problems and promising processes of working with kenaf as
livestock feed are also discussed.

This is a public seminar arranged by the "Integrated Biosystems"  (IBS)
project, under the framework of activities by the Zero Emissions Research
Initiatives, UN University, Tokyo. IBS coordinates projects to achieve
complete utilization of agro-industrial wastes into useful products and
facilitates global networking and the exchange of experiences amongst its
network members.
