Agricultural research underway by international students at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange will be the focus of a seminar this week. Nine Master of Sustainable Agriculture students from countries including China, Ghana, Kenya, Pakistan, Oman, Malawi and Nigeria will present their research from 2pm on Thursday 14 May. The postgraduate students are undertaking a range of studies in their home countries. This includes research into cocoa, wheat, date palm cultivation and aquaculture, rice and pest management.  Senior lecturer Dr Anantanarayanan Raman from the School of the Agricultural and Wine Sciences said, "Sustainable agricultural management is attempted in different nations following different methods and for varying reasons. The present opportunity afforded to our international students enables them to share the best practices followed in their respective countries, and thus, us to learn from their experiences," he said. "In return, they get to know the sustainable agricultural management efforts made in here, in Australia, which we offer them by visiting various farms in central western NSW so that they can take some messages with them what they would consider useful."  The students are being encouraged to wear traditional dress for their 20-minute presentations, which will take place from 2pm to 5pm in the conference room, in building no 1001, CSU in Orange.
