The objectives of the WFD 2010 at UoM will be to:
1) encourage attention to agricultural food production through various activities
2) heighten public awareness of the problem of food security and hunger in the World through different activities and an awareness campaign under the theme "United against Hunger"
3) group all stakeholders in agriculture on a platform, whereby it can be discussed how everybody can work together and help each other to increase food production through sustainable agriculture and make it available and accessible to those who are in need
4) Encourage the participation of agricultural organizations, entrepreneurs and students in the event
The students have started to work on this upcoming event in the hope of making it the biggest event ever organized at the Faculty of Agriculture!

ReplyDeleteThe planters community is much interested to contribute in the promotion of food security and the organization of the world food day you are proposing.Please let us know, how we could be of any help.
ReplyDeleteKreepalloo,
ReplyDeleteThere are many options:
- Farmers organising fairs or seminars. You could request resource persons from our institutions to intervene. MAMCF has a similar plan forthcoming.
- You might team up with the Ag Society of FoA UoM and see how you could do something together at the University.
- Coverage: Whatever you are up to - send us fotos and a short article and we will publish
- Media: U are good at this - get the media attention a few things
My personal thought: How about organising an event to give another life to endangered local foodcrops like: bokla, embrevade, brede martin, brede gondole, mouroum, zantac etc...!!!!!!!
Its nice to know that the planters community is interested in our event. Please find below the email address of the Agricultural Society on which you may send us your contact details, and we'll get back to you.
ReplyDeleteP.S: anybody who is interested to contribute in our event may contact us
Also, if there is any kind of event in which the Agricultural Society can contribute, do inform us know about it.
Thanks! :)
