I am happy to have finally wrapped up my research and submitted my thesis. The last few months have been extremely enjoyable and beneficial. Although we are all disappointed to have missed out on an opportunity to do our research projects abroad I can still safely say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire process.
I would like to thank my supervisors from Nuig and CIAT, Prof. Charlie Spillane, Dr. Peter C. McKeown and Dr. Tiffany Talsma. The support that I have received from each of you has been second to none and I appreciate every contribution that was made to my work.
I hope that my work can be of some use to CIAT and help them to move forward with their project on scaling cacao-coconut intercrop in the Philippines. I hope to one day visit the Philippines to get a proper experience of the beautiful country which I have spent so long researching.
