The ISCO Dinner
The halls of the Purdue Memorial Union were filled with fellowship Thursday evening as ISCO participants gathered to enjoy a dinner and keynote speaker. S.A.J. Sibanyoni (left), a South African small farmer, and Benedict Kayombo, Botswana College of Agriculture, enjoyed the festivities.
The seating arrangements helped the dinner guests make new acquaintences and learn about new places.
More than 700 people were seated for the sumptuous dinner which was served buffet style. Pork, chicken and beef tenderloin were served with tasty grilled vegetables and roasted potato. Each table enjoyed red and white wine and dessert, too.
Lester Brown, Worldwatch Institute President, kept everyone's attention with his theories about looming food shortages due to worldwide aquifer and surface water depletion.

Following the dinner and speech many ISCO participants stayed to savor after dinner wine, some swap stories and enjoy each others' company.
