BMEL is one of the donors of Tropentag 2015. Harrer said that BMEL is spending 8.5 million Euros on 8 different science projects this year. The main interest of BLE being at Tropentag is to get in contact with other organizations and researchers. They organize workshops for local farmers around the world. Furthermore they have upcoming possibilities for young scientists from developing countries to get grants. <a data-flickr-embed="true" data-footer="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/tropentag/21513671235/in/datetaken/" title="DAY3.4"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5787/21513671235_cd99c4b318.jpg" alt="DAY3.4" height="333" width="500" /></a></p><script async="" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><p><i></i></p><p><a href="https://blogarchiv.tropentag.de/node/444" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://blogarchiv.tropentag.de/node/444#comments BLE BMEL food security Nutrition Plus 2015 student reporters 2015 sustainability Tropentag 2015 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 09:18:57 +0000 Philip Testroet 444 at https://blogarchiv.tropentag.de
