CSTAF Director
P.K. Nair and
Assistant Director Michael Bannister traveled to Haiti on June 24 to
supervise the research conducted by two University of Florida students,
Raphael Pierre and Alain Michel (see related
story) in support of the USAID-funded Hillside Agriculture Program
(HAP).
Nair and Bannister met with HAP
staff in the capital, Port au Prince, and then visited field sites near
the southeastern city of Jacmel and the northern city of Cap Haitien.
The project is promoting a
technique for regenerating coffee bushes by pruning and replacing the
crowns. Pierre and Michel will perform their research in these, and
other similar gardens.
