1. Oorsig
Omdat die landbou ’n primêre bedryf is, ondersteun dit baie ander bedrywe
wat werkverskaffing betref. Hierdie steun kan rofweg in ’n verhouding
van 1:1,6 uitgedruk word. Afgesien daarvan dat die landbou ’n katalisator
is vir ekonomiese groei, verskaf dit kos, klere en werk aan baie, help
dit om armoede te verlig, en bevorder dit toerisme en internasionale
mededingendheid.
Die oogmerk met die identifisering van nuwe en ontluikende tegnologieë in
Suid-Afrika is nie net om die land se mededingendheid te verhoog nie, maar
ook om voedselsekuriteit te verseker en ontluikende boere te help om die
hoofstroom te betree.
Landbounavorsing is die vierde van die vier pilare van die omvattende Afrika
landbouontwikkelingsplan(CAADP) Gaan na www.caapd.net.
