E
k wil sommer met die deur in die huis
val en ‘n nuwe lid van die AgriKultuurspan aan ons lesers bekend stel. John
Goosen het op 1 April by ons ingeval
as bemarkingskonsultant wat alreeds met
groot entoesiasme en passie ‘n daadwerklike
bydrae tot die toekomstige ontwikkeling van
Agri Kultuur gelewer het.
John was involved as Radio News Editor for
national radio in which capacity aspects such
as networking, language practitioner, research
and many more formed part of his portfolio. At
the Boskop Training Centre in Potchefstroom,
he had the privilege as Head of Marketing to
get deeper involved with agriculture as with,
building up a country wide database, developing a new marketing strategy, liaising with Organised Agriculture, the media as well as fundraising, to name but a few.
As lid van die Suid-Afrikaans Kamer vir
Entrepreneurs was hy intensief betrokke by
entrepreneurs opleidingsvaardighede, die
opstel en aanbieding van kursusinhoude met
die oog op werkskepping, ekonomiese
ontwikkeling en welvaartskepping.
Soos julle kan sien strek sy ondervinding ver en
wyd wat net ‘n aanwins vir enige tydskrif kan
wees. Baie WELKOM John! Ek glo dat ons lojale
skrywers, adverteerders en lesers jou net so
goed sal ondersteun as wat ons oor die
afgelope paar jaar van hulle ervaar het.
This brings me to something different. John
Goosen will also be in charge of the series on
Entrepreneurship which kicked-off in our
March 2016 edition. Please contact him for any
queries you may have in this regard.
I trust that you will enjoy this month’s edition
with a variety of articles on specific topics
covering aspects such as: Prospects for Solar
Irrigation, Cloud Seeding with Drones,
Biotechnology: Friend and Foe and
Harmonising Nature and Technology with
Aquaponics.
Uit ‘n bewaringsoogpunt kyk ons in hierdie uitgawe
ook na die Politiek van Biodiversiteitsbewaring, Die
Belangrikheid van Gasheerplant Genetika vir
Siektebestandheid, Brandsiek Jakkalse – Natuurlike
Uitdunning en laaste maar nie die minste nie, Nuwe
Vennootskappe in die Bewaring van Blou Kraanvoëls.
Lekker lees
Tot ons weer gesels
