Hort CRSP Spring 2011 Workshop, April 18-19

The two-day workshop brought together PIs and host-country personnel from all current Hort CRSP projects and gave everyone an opportunity to learn about the lessons of current project and scaling up projects for the future. Darcy Boellstorff from Bridgewater State University and Moses Jemitale from World Relief Malawi were in attendance.
A tour of the UC Davis Student Farm and Long Term Research on Agricultural Systems research area gave participants the opportunity to see in action a solar-powered coolbot and irrigation pump.
Moses and Darcy presented a poster that showed some of the same preliminary analyses from the AAG meetings earlier in the month. One part of this analysis included comparing NDVI results from 2010 Landsat TM scenes, one scene from the wet season (April (left)) and one from the dry season (August (right)). The comparison was done in order to determine an estimate of the amount of land cultivated during that year.
