• The material was used in conjunction with the agricultural curriculum developed in 1993.
  
  
• The texts produced covered the areas of agricultural marketing, agricultural economics and finance, production, risk management and human resources management.

• URDC developed this project to improve upon existing curriculum for 6 Ukrainian agricultural colleges, including farm management and horticulture work.
  
  
• URDC coordinated the work of MacEwan College, Old's College, Lakeland College and the University of Saskatchewan to implement the project.
