E-Newsletter: Vol. 8

We, Japan INWEPF secretariat, appreciate very much all your participation to the virtual meeting on Multiple Benefits of Paddy-field Agriculture in Monsoon Asia, which was closed at October 14. In number, we have had 86 topics, 243 posts, and participation of 152 members and all of them made the meeting exciting and fruitful. We believe this opportunity will bring us better understanding of water and ecosystem in paddy fields.
