<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ame déchue sur
une plage lointaine</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Telle une algue grisâtre
arrachée</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
De son cocon protecteur ;
L’océan…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ame déchue qui se
contemple dans une fontaine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Espérant trouver
une chance à tout recommencer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Avant de sombrer
dans le néant…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Si seulement la houle remontait</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jusqu'à la plage
par un jour d’été ;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Si c’était possible
de retourner à l’eau</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
De trémousser à
nouveau avec les vagues bleutées ;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
De recréer une
autre identité</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Et de se
cramponner sur un autre radeau…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alors la vie
recommencera</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Et une âme déchue
revivra…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

It is an old antique tractor that I found while doing a site visit on a planter's field in Midlands.<br />

I recall how curious and thrilled I was when I saw it. I drifted back in old times and recalled some good books I read which made me feel the same thrill for the earth, weeds, vegetables and Nature. Among these good reads were Anne of Green Gables (L.M Montgomery) and The Secret Garden (H Burnett).<br />
I did feel that this blue and yellow framed old tractor must have held old dreams by its previous masters, it must have been preparing the soil as many curious, dreamy eyes gazed at it.<br />
Today, it relaxes in an old field, still well kept but most probably having been replaced by some modern Massey Ferguson tractor...Tenushahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443094681922750781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501651384940227052.post-29760570391446687422013-06-02T10:32:00.002-07:002013-07-12T08:02:44.503-07:00Forlorn heart...<div style="text-align: center;">

<a name='more'></a>We get all sorts of fresh vegetables available in Mauritius, all year
round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our summers are oozing with yellow
squashes and pumpkins, succulent cucumbers while our winters ensure the provision
of crops like lettuce, radish, leek, beetroot and cabbages. Since we live
within a tropical climate zone where temperatures are normally within the range
of 15-30°C, we are lucky to be able to produce both summer and winter crops
throughout the year, with a slight delay in crop cycles and crop maturity, but
the same freshness and quality is ensured.<br />

on out tables, barely aware of the “farm to fork” process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Small vegetable growers are scattered around
the island and are the secret little helpers that are busy working in the
background.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To tend a plant for
commercial production, they need to prepare the land, grow the seeds, water the
plants daily and undertake all cultural practices such as weeding out, applying
farmyard manure/compost, fertilizers and so on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It takes a lot of patience and hard work to grow crops on a commercial
basis, especially in times when dry weather sweeps in or in the rainy days when
vegetables could be damaged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Approximately
40,000 small planters are registered under the Small Planters Welfare Fund
(SPWF) scheme currently, but there could be more that engage in back-yard
production for hobby or family provision.<br />

for the vegetable requirements of our country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet, they are not given much recognition for the efforts that they do;
Agriculture is often viewed as a marginal activity (tedious job requiring hard
work in sun, low salary).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Agriculture
has however evolved and our small growers have developed mastery in growing
crops; this can be viewed in the large fields after Union Park or in the
borders of Solferino and Carreau Laliane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Less and less youth are concerned or engage themselves in agricultural
studies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Local job opportunities in the
field of Agriculture are limited; the Government focus has long been on other
sectors such as IT, Infrastructure and Tourism for job creation and
expansion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>White collared jobs are basically
the ones who are constantly thrust over the spot-light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are in an era where we need to be
diversifying our economy and it is good that other industries are progressing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But has anyone thought over the simple
realities of life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where do we stand if
despite everything, we ignore the hard work of those who give us our plate of
food?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who will cater for our future food
requirements when our present middle-aged farming community retires?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

We are all familiar with crops being sown on the ground. What happens when space is a limiting factor or the farmer is a dreamy fellow?<br />
<br />

Something like the picture here stands out from the crowd...<br />
<br />
This is a man-made "<b>treliss</b>" made out of old pvc pipes and wooden poles to support a chayote vine.<br />
<br />
Pretty isn't it? Lost in the middle of nowhere, it is set against a bamboo hedging and a row of plants that look like <i>vetiver</i>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chayote (<i>Sechium edule</i>) is conventionally grown on the ground where it is allowed to extend its vines and heart shaped leaves. It can also be tamed to grow upright along trelisses, as shown above. In Mauritius, the <i>Sechium edule</i> plant is treasured for:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Its fruit; the chayote locally known as <i><b>chouchou</b></i>, </li>
<li>the leaves which serve to make the traditional <b><i>brede-chouchou </i></b>and finally</li>
<li> its root which are lesser known but once popular in ancestral times;<b><i> cambarre chouchou</i></b></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Web 2.0 Learning Opportunity, an initiative offered by the CTA (Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Competition) was run at the Faculty of Agriculture from the 9th-27th of July, in Mauritius. This was possible with close collaboration between FoA, CTA and the Food and Agricultural Research Council (FARC).</div>
<br />
I was lucky to be part of the trainees selected for this training session. Classes usually combined interactive activities like meta cards which were stuck on the walls (see picture above), hands on practicals after theory lessons, democracy walls where we could express our feelings openly after the day, nice short videos and delightfully jovial and patient trainers.<br />
<br />
My personal experiences after following this session are a mix of professional tips that I have acquired but also nice moments that boosted my spirit up. Basically the training helped:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>To learn about the use of Web 2.0. Tools (Google Docs, RSS Feeds, Google Maps, Skype, LinkedIn, Wikis, Blogging, Twitter, Facebook,...)</li>
<li>To use Web 2.0 tool for educational/work purposes related to Agriculture.Here for example, we learnt how we could subscribe to feeds related to our field of specializations such as latest crop/animal research, pest or disease outbreaks in Agriculture, etc, and thus get updates. We also learnt how to collaborate on wikis and share our ideas.</li>
<li>Learn about the Informal Learning Process and take a break from work routines!</li>
</ul>
<div>
A big word of thanks for CTA, FoA and the trainers who helped to disseminate Web 2.0. Tools amidst agricultural specialists.</div>

<a href="http://www.google.mu/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;">Sustainable Agriculture</span></a> has to do with the efficient use of our natural resources, ecological friendly means of farming or cultivating. It can often integrate the use of practices such IPM, efficient fertilizer management or inputs management, composting, etc...<br />
