Dear Youssef,Thanks for joining the group, and your encouraging comment. An example of how you could help start a discussion is to say something, in the message box on the group page, about food or agriculture related journals published in Egypt, in Arabic or English or other languages. Among your local journals, which do you personally like most, or which are generally considered most important? Are these national publications or are they produced by particular government or university departments? What practical problems do the local publications face, or what are their best achievements?These are many questions - sorry. I do not expect members of our group to provide full analyses of everything, in every message!Best regards, Peter
