VRYDAG, 16 JUNIE 2023 Catherine Milward-Bridges is redakteur van die SA Vrugte Joernaal. Sy sluit by ons aan om te gesels oor die publikasie se mondigwording. By dese verduidelik sy ook dat daar op die oomblik ‘n legio beurse binne die sagtevrugtebedryf beskikbaar is en sy deel ‘n baie spesiale Jeugmaandboodskap. ‘n Onlangse Nasie In Gesprek sessie is by Nampo buite Bothaville gehou. Vele kenners het hieraan deelgeneem. Die tema het gehandel oor die impak van beurtkrag op landbou. Daar is gesels oor praktiese oplossings wat insluit kombinasiekragopwekking metodes. Finansieringsopsies is ook bekyk. Die sluiting van twee sampioenplase in die eerste kwartaal van die jaar het gelei tot tekorte aan die betrokke fungi. ‘n Verwoestende brand in KwaZulu-Natal het ook bygedra tot ‘n voortslepende tekort. Dr Adriaan Smit is Hoof van die South African Gourmet Mushroom Academy in Somerset-Wes in die Wes-Kaap. Hy verduidelik wat verdere redes tot hierdie aangeleentheid kan wees. Ons bespreek ook moontlike oplossings. Dr Smit gesels met ons vanuit Grenada in Spanje. ___________________________ Catherine Milward-Bridges is editor of the SA Fruit Journal. She explains that there are currently various scholarships available within the soft fruit industry and she shares a very special Youth Month message. A recent “Nasie In Gesprek” session was held at Nampo outside Bothaville. Many experts participated. The theme was about the impact of load shedding on agriculture. However, practical solutions that include combined power generation methods were discussed. Financing options for farmers were also investigated. The closure of two mushroom farms in the first quarter of the year led to shortages of the fungi in question. A devastating fire in KwaZulu-Natal also contributed to an ongoing shortage. Dr Adriaan Smit is Head of the South African Gourmet Mushroom Academy in Somerset West in the Western Cape. He talks about further reasons which could have contributed to this matter. We also discuss possible solutions. Dr Smit joins us from Grenada in Spain. |

SATERDAG, 17 JUNIE 2023 In RSG Landbou ondersoek ons insekspesies wat jy moontlik nie geweet het bestaan nie, soos vlieë met lang tonge, reusagtige motte en ‘n paar buitelandse bye. Volgens Professor Bruce Anderson van die Universiteit Stellenbosch is die storie van bestuiwing ‘n byna onsigbare mikrowonderwêreld oor die weë van stuifmeel. Hy stel veral belang in waarom plante juis lyk soos wat hulle lyk. Bloubessies, met hulle Noord-Amerikaanse herkoms, het veral ‘n interessante storie wat hiermee verband hou en dis beslis oor veel meer as blomme en bye. ___________________________ In RSG Landbou we investigate insect species that you may not have known existed such as flies with long tongues, giant moths and some foreign bees. According to Professor Bruce Anderson of Stellenbosch University, the story of pollination is an almost invisible micro-wonderworld of pollen and its predestined path. He is particularly interested in why plants look the way they do. Blueberries, with their North American origins, have a particularly interesting story related to this, and it's certainly about much more than birds and bees. |
