The University of Tropical Agriculture
Foundation (UTA) was established in Vietnam in 1996, at the University of
Agriculture and Forestry, Ho Chi Minh City. The aim was to offer a wider
range of opportunities to learn and do research in sustainable agriculture
for tropical conditions. The home for UTA is the
Ecological Farm.
UTA moved to Cambodia in October 1999. |

New centres are presently being
developed in Colombia (FUNDESAT) and Venezuela (UNET). Ron Leng is a
foundation member of the Senate of the University of Tropical
Agriculture and travels annually to assist in the tuition of students and
to examine the post graduate school. People interested in helping to
support sustainable development can obtain access through the website.
People interested in child welfare may be ' blown away' by the
developments of ecological farms to support the well being of
Aids-orphaned children that has recently developed through an association
of UTA with Sunshine House, Australia. |

A spokesman
says "Farmer's Market Online is dedicated to providing an
inexpensive opportunity for small-scale and home-based entrepreneurs to
sell their homemade, home grown and self-produced products to shoppers
worldwide. |
Our
booth fees are kept minimal -- just $50 for 5 months -- to encourage
maximum participation. We believe that independent
entrepreneurs who sell their own products directly to consumers are a key
component of a sustainable economy, particularly in economically
challenged rural areas".
