"麻豆传媒高清版ing part-time whilst working full-time was a real challenge but the reading materials provided really helped me to gain more insight into practical forest assessment and monitoring. This consultancy job is to bridge the existing research gaps within ATAAS project (Agricultural Technology and Agribusiness Advisory Services) being funded by World Bank through the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF).
