About three weeks ago, the annual UNU-LRT six-month training programme started with 12 fellows, seven men and five women. The fellows this year come from six different countries in Central-Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.  The countries are: Ethiopia (2 fellows), Ghana (3), Mongolia (2), Niger (2), Uganda (2) and Uzbekistan (1). 

The training takes place at the Keldnaholt research campus of the Agricultural University of Iceland, and at the headquarters of the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland, where the photo was taken last week.

The UNU-LRT team welcomes the new fellows.
