CSIRO Rodent Management
This Web site summarises a wealth of material and outputs from a
rodent research group that had extensive research projects in Australia
(1990-2005) and Asia (1994-2006). The web page was last updated in October 2005.
The key contact now is Peter Brown (peter.brown@csiro.au).
Rice
Knowledge Bank
Into the yawning gap between research and
impact has stepped the Rice Knowledge Bank. Not only is it one of the world’s
first digital extension services for those who provide information and support
for farmers (such as nongovernment organizations), it is also the first
comprehensive, digital rice-production library containing an ever-increasing
wealth of information on training and rice production.
More importantly, it provides this service
using a breakthrough format that sets a new standard for knowledge and
information access within the agricultural development community. Taking the
very latest and best ideas from the private sector’s work in this area, the Rice
Knowledge Bank is providing government extension officers, NGOs, and all others
interested with unprecedented access to rice knowledge and training information.
