Agriculture Research At The Federal Level In 10 Countries

[Glenn Easton]

I am conducting a study of agricultural research in 10b countries
(well actually 11 - since I also need info on the USDA/ARS).  The
information I am seeking will be used to raise awareness of 
research activities and to facilitate contacts between scientists
in Canada and the countries I will list below.  To that end I 
would like to enlist anyone who can help me in obtaining 
institutional/organizational information in the following 
countries:

China (PRC)
Mexico
Brazil
Japan
Sweden
France
Germany
United Kingdom
Netherlands
Denmark

I would like to get a brief description of the research mandates
the addresses and the telephone/fax numbers for the institutes,
research centres, and experimental stations funded by the federal
(i.e. central) government in these countries (i.e. INIFAP in 
Mexico, EMBRAPA in Brazil, etc.) As we have two official languages
in Canada, it would be ideal if the information were available in
both French and English, but English is essential.  

I am also trying to prove to myself that Internet is a good 
information gathering tool.

I can be contacted via Freenet ap987 at freenet.carleton.ca or
                          at  iroirc%5320 at gw.agr.ca

Thanks in advance to anyone who assists me with this mammoth 
task.  All leads, notes, observations welcome.
