Greetings from C-CIARN Agriculture, A draft program is available. This event has two objectives. One is to use the presentations as the basis for a book on the topic. Another is to provide an opportunity for a wider audience to learn about research results from different approaches for understanding climate change impacts and adaptation for agriculture. There is no registration fee but space is limited. Please contact Ellen Wall at ewall@uoguelph.ca if you would like to attend. The deadline for doing so is February 10, 2005.
