the adventures of buckaroo bonzai
A group of us from NCSU went to Uruguay from December 7-17th to visit a variety of organic farms and to establish relationships for future studies. Since the climate there is similar to NC, there are a lot of practices that can be used in both places. We saw a lot that impressed us, and a few things that could be improved. This year, a few Uruguayan students are coming to NCSU as part of an exchange program. Yay!
Here are some pics.
The rest are in my CEFS in Uruguay set on Flickr.
I went to Mexico over the fall break (11-15 Oct) with several other people from my Sustainable Agriculture class. We visited an eco-friendly farmer’s co-op near the coast (in Veracruz), had classes at a university in the mountains, saw some ancient temple / pyramid ruins for a few hours, visited a coffee co-op, spent a day with a coffee farmer learning about his farm, and got to see a teeny tiny bit of Mexico city. It was fun, even if we did spend 12 hours a day learning and had little free time.

Other times, I go out to CEFS to collect data:
