FOSRIN - Experimental sites

http://www.ricebean.org/sites.htm

FOSRIN: Food security through ricebean research in India and Nepal. FOSRIN blog (members only). We are working in field sites in villages in several areas of India and Nepal. These have been selected to be typical of ricebean-growing areas, although not all are places where ricebean has been grown before. In all locations we work very closely with the farmers and their families. You can then link directly to Google Earth. Germplasm has been collected widely throughout all the States we are working in.
