Much of the content that supports the visits was provided by USDA-NRCS Caribbean Area and Major Land Resource Areas groups.  Other technical papers and electronic materials are included and are of public domain.

The organizers are extremely grateful for funding provided by USDA-NRCS-NCDP, through efforts by Rick Tafoya.  Rick has been very supportive in implementing this program, initially in TAMUK and now at UPRM.

We are grateful to organizers from USDA-NRCS (Manuel Matos and Samuel Ríos). We appreciate the assistance of numerous professionals whom have helped in coordinating the field visits or offered conferences and farmers whom have given us access to their time, facilities and knowledge. We acknowledge the administrative support provided by the University of Puerto Rico, College of Agricultural Sciences, Agricultural Experiment Station.
