Agri-Tourism - A Growth Industry What is Agri-Tourism? Why Agri-Tourism? There are many benefits to agri-tourism: Second, agri-tourism attracts customers to farms. Adding a picnic site, playground and a canteen to an existing U-pick operation, or having family hay rides to go and cut Christmas trees on a farm, will not only draw families to your farm, but they will stay longer if comfortable and interesting attractions are provided. Third, agri-tourism contributes to the stability of the agriculture industry of the province. Fourth, agri-tourism is an excellent means of supporting rural communities and businesses. Tourists bring in dollars to local businesses that keep farming communities alive and prosperous. And fifth, agri-tourism is an opportunity to increase agricultural awareness and education among the public, and promote agricultural products. Canadian Agri-Tourism Network In March 1998 representatives from across Canada met to form the Canadian Agri-Tourism Network with the goal of making Canada the number one agri-tourism destination in the world. Other provinces are actively developing their agri-tourism industry: PEI has long been involved in farm vacations, Ontario has a "Get Out of Town" Harvest Day, and Manitoba has something similar called "Off The Beaten Path" touring guide promoting their agri-tourism operations. Partnering of tourism and agriculture sectors will help create and strengthen rural economies. Expansion into other agri-tourism enterprises could be a lucrative opportunity for farmers.

Discuss Expectations No two people can ever see everything in the same way. Therefore the first step in developing any relationship is to understand what the other person is thinking and what their expectations may be about certain situations, events or decisions. - this is an ongoing process. The opportunity to discuss expectations will assist people to be aware of their own expectations and those of others. In fact often people may have expectations they didn't realise they had! Key expectations to discuss might include: Work - what do you consider as work? How much time do you think is reasonable for work? 7 days a week? 5 days a week? 8 hours a day? 10 hours a day? Dawn to dusk everyday?

Rural Life and Agriculture Tour Introduction to Non-traditional Agriculture Non-Traditional Farm - Lusaka Introduction to Non-traditional Agriculture Next issue - You are going to be taken to a very different type of farm for your fourth visit of the agriculture tour. You are visiting the farm of Mtumbe who leases a smallholding of 2 hectares on the outskirts of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. However when you get out the car you do not see maize growing but greenhouses in which roses are being grown. Non Traditional Agriculture Amongst the small scale farms in Zambia are some that have decided to diversify into new and non-traditional crops. Maize production has proven to be very influenced by the weather conditions. In times of drought maize is particularly badly effected. Zambian entrepreneurs have looked for alternative crops that will yield a good return and are less vulnerable. Some, like Mtumbe have noted that the prices that flowers fetch in the international markets are attractive and have invested in facilities to grow flowers. Currently his business is surviving however he does not have the capital or the same degree of financial backing as the larger commercial farms and estates have. He does not enjoy the varied internal economies of scale that large organisations can. He is able to obtain a limited amount of overseas development assistance however most of his investment must come from his earnings from sales and loans that he can obtain from the commercial banks and some microfinancing. His existence is vulnerable to changes in the market for flowers.

In addition to the Thursday night meetings, where socialising is the main priority, the Society organises various one-off events. These include pub-crawls, visits (to The Smithfield Show for example) and a summer barbecue. Occasionally visiting speakers are invited to discuss topical issues and share their views on subjects such as business mangement. The Annual dinner dances and balls are dates to remember and are held at different 'glamorous' locations each year - recently the Federation Brewery was chosen to host this event. The Society's members traditionally take part in the inter-university ploughing match, where they take the opportunity to prove to the other Universities why Newcastle agrics are the best!

The Rural Church God's Little Houses on the Prairie North Dakota's rural churches are a precious, endangered lot. By Molly Millett, St. Paul Pioneer Press A Holy State: N.D. ranks second in number of residents belonging to churches. North Dakota is second in the nation for the percentage of the population that belongs to a church or religious group, according to a recent census of U.S. religions. About 73 percent of North Dakota's population belongs to a church or religious body. Only Utah was ranked higher with 74 percent. North Dakota also had the country's lowest ratio of population to congregations. There is one congregation in the state for every 426 people. Beacons of Faith Are Dimming on the Prairie With their steeples visible for miles, anchoring the distant landscape, the churches of North Dakota have been called the lighthouses of the prairie. Built by Norwegian, Swedish, German, Icelandic and other homesteaders who flocked to the treeless terrain in the 1880's, these windswept landmarks of rural life, beacons of faith and optimism, are rapidly vanishing. A survey in 1998 by the North Dakota Historical Society and other groups found that of the state's nearly 2,000 historic church buildings, at least 400 had been abandoned. Seventy-eight percent of them are in one-silo towns of 2,500 people or fewer, as farm economics have driven people to jobs far away. Throughout the Great Plains, depopulation has left hundreds of historic churches vacant and at the mercy of the elements, said Jim Lindberg, assistant director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Denver, which placed the churches on its most endangered list last year.

Home Domestic World Travel ... E-mail Agric Expo to Showcase Great Strides in Farming An international fair scheduled in Beijing for October will showcase China's monumental achievement in agriculture, while at the same time demonstrating the country's readiness to further open the sector to the outside world, a senior agricultural official said Monday. The China International Agricultural Exposition will publicize the country's agricultural policies and features, and help bring in advanced foreign funds, agro-technology, equipment and management experience, said Vice-Minister of Agriculture Qi Jingfa. Qi, speaking at a preparatory meeting for the country's top-level agricultural exhibition, said that agriculture is the sector that has witnessed the most substantial changes since the country launched its reform and opening-up drive some two decades ago. The country has scored bumper grain harvests five years in a row since 1995 with annual outputs exceeding 490 million tons, and the supply of most farm products is outstripping market demand, according to Qi. Already 175 million rural residents are no longer engaged in agricultural production, and the number of rural residents without adequate food and clothing has been reduced from 65 million in 1995 to 30 million last year, he said.

The most important being land use, rainfall, and soils (see Chapter 2). Land Use In a detailed study of land-use practices and the carrying capacity of the land, Higgins et al. (1982) analyzed the areas and countries that are most at risk from excessive pressure of people and their livestock at existing low-input levels. They identified almost the whole of the arid and semi-arid savanna zones (see Chapters 5 and 6) and the adjoining semi-desert, together with other heavily populated areas including part of Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Eritrea, the highlands of Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, southern Mozambique, most of Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, western Uganda, eastern Zaire, and southern Zimbabwe, as being particularly threatened ( Fig. 24
