Center for Citizen Initiatives Agricultural Newsletters

As part of a joint program between the Center for Citizen Initiatives and the Russian Ministry of Agriculture's Department of Specialized Secondary Education, monthly informational newsletters are being distributed from consulting & information centers to agricultural producers and processors in seven Russian regions. This program is made possible by a grant from the US Agency for International Development.

We are pleased to announce the availability (via the World Wide Web) of 10 monthly newsletters from the Arzamas consulting & information center, focusing on various topics of interest to farmers and processors in the Nizhegorodskaya oblast. There are now approximately 170 newsletters and instructional guides posted on our site, which has sections for Windows, Mac, KOI and DOS font encodings. Direct your browser to http://www.igc.org/cci/russpubs.html to select the right encoding. This site is also mirrored on FADR's servers and updated monthly.

A fundamental principle of management information systems (MIS) is that the usefulness of any information network depends upon the content transferred over that network. We hope to make the Web a powerful tool for spreading useful knowledge that can help Russian farmers succeed with environmentally-sustainable techniques.
