From: "Eng-Leong Foo (UNU, Tokyo)" <mailto:FOO@HQ.UNU.EDU>
ECOTEC (Ecotechnology Network) in cooperation with the Zero Emissions Research Initiatives (ZERI) Project of the United Nations University (UNU), gladly announces the new listserv list called "Bio-Integration"
"Bio-Integration" will be a list for an exchange of information and experiences. Specialised Listserv lists will also be created by ZERI for in-depth discussions by experts, practitioners, entrepreneurs, researchers and students for specific technologies in selected integrated systems. These may include topics like mushrooms, algae, biogas, earthworm, biofertilisers; biopesticides, fish and small animal farming, etc.
The objectives of this series of lists and activities are :
(a) to promote the research and use of ecologically sound and economically viable technologies in integrated bio-production systems (b) to discuss how traditional self-reliant technologies and frontier high technologies can be combined and used in integrated manner (c) to stimulate research on problems related to their applications, integration and economic sustainability.
Through value-added reutilization of agro-industrial and agricultural by-products or materials, these technologies should contribute to zero emissions i.e. production and manufacturing "without wastes" and to provide opportunities for increase income generation and small entrepreneurships development.
To join this list, please send an e-mail to mailto:Listserv@searn.sunet.se and write :
