Perspectives in International Development Seminar Series

 

 

CIIFAD sponsors a weekly international seminar series during the academic year and co-sponsors occasional seminars with various Cornell departments and centers on campus. During Fall 2007, CIIFAD, the Food Agriculture and Nutrition Group and the Program in International Nutrition are co-sponsored the a six week seminar series on Linking Food, Agriculture and Nutrition for Improved Human and Environmental Health.

Ad hoc CIIFAD-sponsored seminars, conferences, workshops and other educational events are presented throughout the calendar year and are generally noted on the CIIFAD home page and the on-line Einaudi Center Events Calendar.
