EDITORIAL Ann Agric Environ Med Vol. 2 , No. 2 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AGRICULTURAL MEDICINE AND RURAL HEALTH Krakow, Poland, 7-8 September 1995 Dear Readers, This issue of AAEM is devoted to the proceedings of the international meeting held in Krakow, Poland, that dealt with a wide range of problems in agricultural medicine and the health of rural populations. The meeting was a special contribution of the Polish Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (KRUS), with the Jozef Dietl Specialist Hospital in Krakow and the Institute of Agricultural Medicine in Lublin as the main co-organizers, to promote occupational safety and protection of health in agriculture. A comprehensive coverage of the subject of the Conference is well indicated by the titles of the four Sections into which 34 contributed papers and keynote lectures have been grouped. The speakers represented the International Association of Agricultural Medicine and Rural Health and a host of scientific institutions. Most of the papers were given by the Polish participants what has created an opportunity of the promotion of our research on an international forum. All the participants of the Conference agreed that to make sure that our endeavours to meet the challenges of our time in the special field of agricultural medicine continue unabated, we must all share views and exchange up-to-date information; we must build on the achievements to secure future progress.

FAAW Home Governments working with Australian rural women Australia is well served with a diversity of Federal and State Government units established specifically to work with women in rural areas. The Australian Government has specialist rural women's units in two of its departments: Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Australia (AFFA) and the Department of Transport and Regional Services (DOTRS). These units have been set up to link Government and women in rural industries, increase opportunities for women in decision-making and improve the recognition of women's contributions to rural industries. The six State Governments in Australia have rural women's networks who work to increase opportunities for women and ensure they have an input into all Government policies - not simply those which affect women. They also coordinate the annual Rural Women's Awards funded by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC), which recognise a women in each of the six states and the Northern Territory who has made a significant contribution to rural life. The awards are worth $20,000 each. Rural Women's Network, Victoria

THE HONOR SOCIETY OF AGRICULTURE GAMMA SIGMA DELTA Auburn Chapter Objectives 2003-2004 Officers Jan 2004 - August 2004 Calendar GAMMA SIGMA DELTA began at the Ohio State University December l, 1905, as a professional, agricultural fraternity for undergraduates called Delta Theta Sigma. Iowa State organized a Chapter in 1907 but as an honorary rather than as a professional society. Other Chapters were installed soon after at Land-Grant Universities in Pennsylvania, Oregon, Missouri and Utah, all adhering to the honorary plan. A conclave was held in Columbia, Missouri in May 1913, when the organization became fully honorary and the name was changed to GAMMA SIGMA DELTA . Chapters were added at Kansas in 1914 and at Auburn University in 1916. The Alabama Polytechnic Institute, as Auburn was then called, became the Eighth Chapter to be formed. Following a merger with the University of Minnesota's Agricultural Honor Society of America, a new constitution was drafted and ratified in 1917. It made GAMA SIGMA DELTA the Honorary Society of Agriculture and established the broad principles of faculty control. There are at present 47 Chapters of

In all the project countries rural people are less educated than people in cities. In most of the project countries the level of education for rural women is even lower than that for men (Table 7). Only in Poland and Hungary is the level of education for rural women slightly higher than that of rural men, although in these countries the general level of education in rural areas is the lowest. The proportion of women educated to a high level is higher in all the CEE countries than it is in Austria. 5.1 Women's participation in professional education and training

AGRICULTURE Outturn of 1997 Programme 69. Mr. Speaker, as indicated earlier there was a decline in the growth in the agricultural sector due to a decline in cocoa and the fisheries sub-sectors. 70. In the crop sub-sector, there was growth of 2 per cent in the roots, tubers and cereals. This growth resulted in an increased production of these staples from 14.5 million metric tonnes in 1996 to 14.8 million metric tonnes in 1997. 71. There were, however, disparities in the regional distribution of food production leading to for example the food deficit of about 53,000 metric tonnes for the three Northern Regions of Upper East, Upper West and Northern Region. About half of the deficit came from Upper East. The main reason for the deficit was the failure of the early millet and sorghum crops due to erratic rainfall patterns. For the Upper East in particular, the chronic situation was further aggravated by the destruction of the limited productive agricultural lands by illegal mining operators and shortage of farm labour. Government has put in place the necessary mechanisms through the National Disaster Committee to address the situation. 76. The Outgrower Programme involving the use of good breed, good animal husbandry practices and good health care delivery from Veterinary Services Department to ensure profitable livestock farming was also intensified.

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.
