Subject: Rodale Institute Professional Training Course

Regenerative Agriculture for the 21st Century
Rodale Institute's Natural Resource Management Professional Training Series, 
October 28 - 31, 1997

The Rodale Institute, which for three generations has been making the vital 
connections between Healthy Soil, Healthy Food and Healthy People, announces 
the opportunity for interested individuals and institutions to participate in 
the first of its Natural Resource Management Training Series, Regenerative 
Agriculture for the 21st Century.

The purpose of this training is to familiarize emerging professionals in the 
fields of agriculture, international and community development, and natural 
resource management with concepts of regenerative agriculture technologies  
that recognize the interdependency between agriculture, human health and 
environmental responsibility.  Recognizing that many of the solutions to the 
world's health problems are linked to our agricultural production and 
distributions systems, a new agenda for food and agricultural development is 
needed, one for a "greener revolution" directed at increasing the production 
of nutritionally adequate food supplies in ways that protect and maintain 
community health, socioeconomic environments, and ecological sustainability.

The focus of the seminar will be on the use of regenerative technologies for 
enhancing soil fertility and managing natural resources, as well as on the 
relationship between soil health and human health.  Utilizing the case study 
approach, participants will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and 
practical experience directly from the expertise of the Rodale Institute's 
Regenerative Agriculture Research Centers staff, including such topics as 
Soil Conservation from Senegal, West Africa, Community Forest Concessions, 
Peten, Guatemala, and Composting and Soil Health from Rodale Institute's 
Experimental Farm in Kutztown, PA. The seminar is designed to be 
participatory and will make the transition from scientific research to 
practical field experience.

The seminar should be particularly beneficial for NGO's , international 
development agencies, prospective or returned Peace Corps Volunteers, and 
students who plan to work in international development and project management.

Cost of the four day training seminar is $915.00.  Price includes 
registration, entrance to all workshop activities, materials, lunch each day, 
and reception.
