Key Words Genetically modified, GM, DNA, bio-pesticide, food-safety Introduction Agricultural biotechnology is the foremost innovation for a better world in the 21 st Methods Ten states in the southern US were involved in this consortium project. The overall activities included 1) Educational Outreach, 2) Commodity Outreach, 3) Community Outreach, and 4) Socio-economic Studies as shown in the task integration diagram (Figure 1). Five counties that are normally served by each member institution were the target areas for the outreach activities (Figure 2). Individual institutions prepared projects based on their capabilities and interests, and funds were allocated accordingly. The campus coordinator was responsible to keep the model functioning throughout the life of the project. An advisory committee consisting of three expert members from outside the consortium provided the planning and evaluation guidelines.

Creating Learning Networks between Formal Agricultural Institutions and Rural People: the potential role of local non-government organisations as intermediaries I. Wallace Agricultural Education as a "Learning Sub-system" Agricultural Education is often described as a complex discipline (White, 1990), but may also be viewed as a "learning sub-system", linked to wider rural knowledge and learning systems. It has been suggested elsewhere that it may be divided into two major sectors, representing formal and nonformal components of the subsystem. The interface between these two can become a fruitful point for innovative, educational activity. In addition both the formal and nonformal sectors may be thought of as being bounded by permeable membranes - there are mutual interactions both between the two, and with the wider environment in which agricultural education operates.(Wallace, 1992:52) The latter include exchanges with policy makers and planners, research institutions, linked academic disciplines, commercial organisations; and also a broad spectrum of rural clienteles and the groups and organisations to which they belong, or which represent them. This "systems view" of agricultural education can be represented simply as in Figure 1 below.

Inoculation study Paddock action The Yorke Peninsula Alkaline Soils Group, in conjunction with the SA No-Till Farmers Association and agricultural bureaus on the Yorke Peninsula, will hold a post-emergence seeding tour departing from Minlaton at 9am on July 20. Growers will have the opportunity to examine the progress of crops for which new techniques have been applied at the paddock scale, including herbicide incorporation with disc seeders, different application techniques for knockdowns, mid-row nitrogen banding, crop establishment between last year's stubble rows, wide row crops and precision inter-row weed control, liquid fertilisers compared to granular at farm scale, and discs versus tines in stony soils. For more information contact the YPASG on (08) 8853 2241. Feedback on fertiliser Farmers in New South Wales are being asked to comment on a proposal to prevent the use of harmful industrial wastes as fertilisers or 'soil improvers'. NSW Agriculture and the NSW Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) have proposed that specific wastes and by-products be banned from uses which are directly related to growing plants for agriculture, forestry and environmental regeneration in order to prevent harmful wastes from contaminating produce or degrading land. Possible substances that could be banned includes slag, certain residues, ashes, catalysts and foundry sands, but not materials such as manures and food and garden waste. Comment is invited until June 25.

51. Agriculture Sector of the local economy and while New Zealand s agricultural technology isinternationally recognised the basics of rural life are largely unchanged. http://wairarapa.gen.nz/agric.html

Choose another Sector Forestry Horticulture Manufacturing Tourism Wine BACKBONE OF THE REGION Wairarapa was founded on the fortunes of its pioneer farmers and their hard-working rural descendants. Those who devoted their energies to agriculture relied on others who built the infrastructure and the commerce that supported a rural economy. To this day, after a century of change, the fundamental nature of the industry is still very much a fact of Wairarapa life. Sheep and cattle farms, dairying, mixed crop holdings, and newer pasture enterprises such as deer farming, are mainstays of the local economy and while New Zealand's agricultural technology is internationally recognised the basics of rural life are largely unchanged. In a New Zealand context, Wairarapa has had more than its fair share of innovation in agriculture. Aerial top-dressing of fertiliser, responsible for the huge increase in pastoral production following the Second World War, had its beginnings in Wairarapa. Today, use of technology and on-farm monitoring tools are helping break new ground in much the same way. Feed budgeting systems,new genetics and fertility enhancing techniques are contributing to increased farm productivity.

North Dakota Rural Life Poll The poll is a project of the Center for Rural Studies, a collaborative effort between rural sociologists at NDSU and UND. The objectives of the North Dakota Rural Life Poll are to: monitor the changing conditions in rural North Dakota; 2) to collect timely and relevant data on the conditions of rural North Dakota; 3) and to disseminate the results to state and national policy makers as well as other interested groups, organizations and individuals. The poll has been conducted several times at the University of North Dakota before being transferred to the Center for Rural Studies. It has been funded by contributions from various rural and farm organizations, farm magazines, government agencies, and NDSU Extension Because the poll does not have a permanent source of funding, it tends to be conducted on an episodic basis, typically whenever a state agency or a rural organization is able to provide at least half of the costs of the poll and we try to raise the remainder.

The towns were selected from those with populations of between 1,000 and 10,000. They are Kerikeri, Kawakawa, Waipawa/Eltham, Te Kuiti, Bulls, Wairoa, Thames, Carterton, Alexandra, Waimate, Westport, Temuka and Cromwell. Businesses were selected to provide a wide range of business types. These were then grouped into sectors. The survey achieved a 77% response rate. Within these 77 businesses, 492 women were employed either full-time or part-time. The numbers returned from each sector were as shown in the table below:

PEI Farm Health and Safety Program Farm Stress Needs Assessment Summary Report Prepared For: Coordinator PEI Federation of Agriculture Prepared By: Steve McQuaid The Discoverers Group Date: March 2001 - Contents - I Introduction II Background III The Needs Assessment Survey IV Methodology ... V Summary of Findings Professional helping Community VI Conclusions VII Recommendations Acknowledgements - In addition to the above organizations, there are also a number of individuals who have been instrumental in helping to create a higher awareness of the impact and consequences of farm stress. These include Marilyn Affleck I Introduction Over the past decade or more, the farming community across the country have been encountering and experiencing an increasingly higher level of uncertainty and disruption on a number of fronts. Some of the more prominent issues that have been challenging farmers include things like the isolation, many farmers continue to work alone, the ongoing loss of rural communities and rural services, the ongoing departure of young people from the industry, and uncertainty and predictability of the market place, the ambivalence and ambiguity of government policies, and the various levels of financial pressures/crises. In short, farm families are working in a social and economic environment that is more challenging than ever before, and this environment can have, and is having, a telling impact of the quality of life for many farm families. In a direct sense, these social and economic pressures can result in individual farm families experiencing a broad range of physical and emotional symptoms including such things as headaches, heart and digestive problems, relationship problems, inter-generational conflicts, substance abuse, increased tensions and violence in the home, and even suicide.
