With the support of a Schull Yang International Experience Award, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences student Pierre Tulk participated in two research projects in Panama.
“The first project was a long-term collaborative initiative between ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ researchers and the Ngöbe and Buglé indigenous groups in Panama that resulted in the development of a geographic atlas, which will be used as an educational tool in the community. Thanks to this collaboration, two eminent members of the community also visited ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ for a reunion of indigenous people.
The second project was an independent investigation of the cooperative movement in agricultural systems, which I hope will provide more insight into the importance of social-based initiatives for shaping our economic environment for the better.â€
