Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Media Release BioAlberta and Government of Alberta For Immediate Release January 16, 2003 Calgary Albertas commitment to diversifying the economy has taken another step forward with the establishment of BioProducts Alberta, a strategic network created to look for opportunities and identify priorities in the emerging area of life sciences. Life sciences and bio-products span the agriculture, energy, environment, forestry and health sectors. BioProducts Alberta, a joint initiative between Alberta Innovation and Science and BioAlberta, has been established to help provide strategic direction and become an advocate for Albertas growing bio-products industry, an important component of the life sciences sector. Investing in the future of this province is a priority for the Government of Alberta, particularly in the growing area of life sciences. By continuing to collaborate with industry partners such as BioAlberta, we are able to identify emerging opportunities and develop areas of expertise that help us remain competitive in the global economy, said Victor Doerksen, Minister of Alberta Innovation and Science. The establishment of BioProducts Alberta builds on our previous investment in the area of life sciences and will enable us to become a centre of excellence for world-class research and discovery in this important sector.

Extractions: Life as a student In a typical day for students enrolled in the School of Rural Science and Agriculture students will attend two or three 50 minute lectures in the morning. In the afternoon there would probably be a 3-hour practical class or field trip on at least four afternoons. Therefore on average you will spend 24-25 hours a week in the classroom as well as doing assignments, practical reports and an end of semester exam for 4 units per semester. Don't worry there always seems to be enough time to enjoy life as well! If you are enrolled externally the workload is essentially the same per unit but you will need to organise your own reading time to take the place of lectures and practicals (5-6 hours per week). Most units also have a compulsory 4-day residential school where you have opportunity to do intensive periods of practicals, field trips and tutorials equivalent to that provided to the internals. Course description The Bachelor of Rural Science is a four-year degree that is distinguished Australia wide for its integrated 'holistic' approach to agriculture and the training of "general practitioners". Rural Science has a strong scientific base and because first year includes maths and chemistry units it is recommended that new students have a good background in maths and chemistry in these subjects. Those without this background may find first-year hard going at times and we would recommend that you consider enrolling in the Foundation units in chemistry or maths that are offered by The Faculty of The Sciences in December - January each year. (See contact details at end of this page if you want further information).

Rural Women & ICTs: Women's Involvement life would not be the same without it. Web, a Newsletter printed by the rural Women'sNetwork; Assistant Coordinator Sonia Muir, muirso@agric.nsw.gov.au http://www.bus.qut.edu.au/rwp/Women.htm
Extractions: Rural Women Involved in Communication Technology Research A wide range of women are participating in this innovative project, including farmers, community workers, nurses, librarians, teachers, small business operators and retirees. Our aim is to involve a diversity of women living in rural and remote locations, including Aboriginal women, migrant women, women on farms and women living in rural towns and mining communities. These women are taking part in a number of project activities, including workshops, interviews, electronic discussion groups and audio teleconferences. Participants are raising issues about communication related to family, business and community activities, discussing future opportunities and problems with new ICTs, and learning more about new ICTs and the implications of telecommunications policy changes. My name is Kathryn Anderson , and I am a Senior Policy Officer within The Office of Rural Communities (ORC) in the Queensland Department of Local Government and Planning. ORC has been an Industry Partner in the research project since 1996. The Office has an obvious interest in the project, as we recognise that rural women are a force to be reckoned with, and that information technology and telecommunications hold one of the keys to a future for rural communities. My involvement in the project has been as a member of the Steering Committee providing input and feedback to the research team at QUT, and promoting the project to the rural women I meet in the course of my work as Senior Policy Officer within ORC. My link with this project is my role as the officer dealing with rural access to information technology and telecommunications issues in ORC.

Extractions: Miscellaneous publication 27/2001 September 2001 Stress management Health and counselling services In bad seasons farm families can be overwhelmed with concerns over poor weather conditions which put additional pressure on finances and future incomes. This also affects rural communities and small businesses. Stress is a normal part of life and all situations, both positive and negative. Situations that require adjustment are stressful. 'Stress' is what goes on inside us when we react to frustration, conflict and pressure. We each respond differently to stress, depending on our perceptions. Stress generally affects everyone in five basic ways: physiologically (i.e. headaches and frequent illness, backache); emotionally (i.e. anger, anxiety); behaviourally (i.e. irritability, drinking too much alcohol); cognitively (i.e. inability to make decisions, memory loss); self-concept (i.e. "I'm a failure").

"Agriculture is business and not a way of life, Major Quashigah told the media last Tuesday in Accra adding, "The tyres under your car, the paper on which your are writing on, and the cosmetics you are wearing are all products of agriculture." He said Ghana has been endowed with so many resources that if people were to take agriculture seriously and invested in it, Ghana would not need to go anywhere else for assistance or aid.
