Dear Sir or Madam, when you are thinking who is hiding behind the huge Canon camera at the Tropentag 2013, then here are the face and information about your camerawoman. Viviane Meyer has a Polish/German nationality and was born in Bersenbrück, Lower Saxony. She just finished her Bachelor degree in Environmental and Resource Management at the Brandenburg Technical University of Cottbus and will start in October to study Environmental Protection and Agricultural Food Production at University Hohenheim. Viviane did an internship at the environmental organization WALHI in Indonesia where she got to know the manifold problems regarding oil palm plantations. She is proud to be a Student Reporter and to capture memories of the Tropentag 2013 in expressive pictures.

Louisa has already lived in and travelled to many countries: originally from Hong Kong,

Hi everyone, my name is Kirstin Ohlendorf, I am studying “Integrated Natural Resource Management” in Berlin. As a student reporter I will mostly be blogging from the sessions and presentations. I am a student reporter, because I am generally interested in the Topentag, but especially in the this years theme "Agricultural development within the rural-urban continuum".

Hi to those reading the blog. My name is Vince Canger, a student of the Universities of Göttingen and Kassel, and I will be reporting and partly responsible for video editing at this year's Tropentag Conference. I am looking forward to gaining some good experience on agricultural communications work and also to learning about new perspectives and developments coming from the field.

Eva studies “Sustainable International Agriculture” at the University of Göttingen. She is about to start her master thesis in the Nakuru district in West Kenya regarding “Post harvest milk losses”.

Paulina is from Mexico and she has been living in Germany for 5 years. She is doing her masters in Hohenheim University in Stuttgart on Organic Agriculture and Food Systems. She is very much interested in rural development issues in the Tropical regions and she thinks it is a great opportunity to be a student reporter and do networking with students and professionals in the Tropentag, and to hear about current topics and first-hand knowledge from the presentations. Paulina hopes that she will find an inspiration for her master thesis topic from the ideas that she will collect from the conference.
