A-SNAPP
team members on the move
Two key partners in A-SNAPP (Agribusiness in Sustainable Natural
African Plant Products) have moved to new locations recently.
A-SNAPP's South African team has relocated its base of operations
from within the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) to Stellenbosch
University. The team will occupy a block of offices with greenhouses
and test plots close at hand, and will work with agricultural
economics experts at the university to help assure that A-SNAPP's
projects are economically viable in the field. According to
South Africa's team leader, Elton Jefthas, "the move from
ARC to Stellenbosch creates a team solely dedicated to natural
products."
Also, Dr. James Simon, formerly of Purdue University, has moved
to Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. With this
move, Dr. Simon brings to Rutgers the New Use Agriculture and
Natural Plant Products Program, a leading international center
offering studies in aromatic and medicinal botanicals. From
his new post Dr. Simon will continue as an active partner in
the A-SNAPP program, bringing with him the valuable resources
Rutgers University has to offer.
