Canadian-Ukrainian Centre (CUC) became the sponsor of the Second International Conference "AgroResurcy – 2012".
Under the aegis of the Centre, the plan of the conference will include the specialized session on "Prospects of agricultural production in Ukraine in terms of the growth of the world food demand".
The session will include the following issues:
- Marketing and distribution - implications for large-scale producers and international commodity transaction
- Agriculture sector policy development and removal of the moratorium on agricultural land sales in Ukraine
- Technology and productivity enhancement in major exporting nations and its contribution to global food security
- Synergies of involvement with international financial and development agencies
In the meantime we can advise that key academic participants from Canada are likely to include the following individuals:
- Dr. Mary Buhr, Dean, College of Agriculture and Bio-Resources, University of Saskatchewan
- Dr. Michael Trevan, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences University of Manitoba
- Dr. John Kennelly, Dean College of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences University of Alberta
- Dr. Edward Tyrchniewicz, Senior Scholar and Advisor to Dean on International Affairs University of Manitoba
- Dr. Roman Petryshyn, Director, Ukrainian Resource and Development Centre, Grant MacEwan University
- Gerald Luciuk, Vice-Chair, Canada Ukraine Centre Inc.
Dr. Tyrchniewicz is an eminent Canadian expert in sustainable agriculture and grain marketing and transportation. He is a likely presenter on the subject of the impact of international grain marketing mechanisms for Canadian producers. It is our hope as well that we can arrange for participation of representatives from international financial and development entities.
