Extract

Colombia, South America is one of the select countries around the world which has been singled out for intensive developmental inputs on the part of public agencies and institutions, private enterprise and the Foundations. Among the external agencies currently involved in the Colombian development effort are FAO, the Mid-American State University Association (MASUA) administered by Nebraska, an International Tropical Research Institute, the Harvard Development Advisory Service, the Population Council, the Ford, Kellogg and Rockefeller Foundations, and various national development organizations, including those of Sweden and France. Obviously, with such a diversity of endeavor, consideration must necessarily be limited to agriculture, with emphasis on the current Nebraska-MASUA consortion program.
