Proceedings of the Understanding Timor-Leste 2019 Conference, Volume 3: Investigations into Agricultural Topics

The peer-reviewed papers included in these volumes were first presented at the Timor-Leste Studies Association (TLSA)’s Understanding Timor-Leste 2019, which was held at the Universidade Nacional Timor-Lorosa’e (UNTL), Liceu Campus, Avenida Cidade de Lisboa, Dili, Timor-Leste, 27–28 June 2019. This was the 7th TLSA conference, following our conferences in Melbourne (2005) and Dili (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017). More than 200 East Timorese and international delegates presented papers over two days. The conference was organised into three language streams, with papers presented in Tetum, Portuguese and English. This approach reflects the linguistic diversity of Timor-Leste and proved a great success.
