Sweden hosts Agricultural Research for Development Conference

The Agricultural Research for Development Conference 2017 (Agri4D 2017 Conference) is a two day event for researchers and professionals working with and/or interested in agriculture for development. The Conference is organized by Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and Swedish International Agriculture Network Initiative (SIANI).
