Meeting the Needs for Leadership in Dairying in Latin America

The Rockefeller Foundation, Bogota, Colombia

ABSTRACT

My assignment is to discuss the following from a United States scientist's viewpoint:

1. An analysis of the basic problems in dairying, and the major needs in teaching, research, and extension for helping to solve them.
   
2. Tailoring curricula in the United States to the needs of Latin American students—what these needs are and how they should be met.
   
3. What a professor or scientist should know concerning the culture, language, and customs before going on a foreign assignment, temporary or otherwise, to Latin America.
   
4. Career opportunities in Latin America for North American college graduates with majors in dairy production for both United States and Latin American students.
   

This is a large and difficult task and for the purpose of this symposium these topics must be treated in very general terms, at the risk of leaving much unsaid and of making statements to which there are many exceptions.

Application of new methods.
