Does ten years seem like a long time to you? What were you doing in 2003? The course of your whole life can change (or be confirmed) over a period like that.
Perhaps the best indicator of time is our children. You can look at them and wonder what happened to the years. Suddenly (it seems) they are young woman, young man and you know that you yourself are not excluded from the passing of time.
Ten years ago I was part of a small team which begun work on its first agricultural publication, the predecessor of The Agri Handbook. We met with over 400 role players to introduce ourselves and our plans. Ten years later, 2013, saw the publication of the 5th edition of the book which provides an overview on the South African agricultural value chain.
The Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) released its 10-year look-ahead this month. BFAP is a gathering of individuals from the University of Pretoria, Stellenbosch University and the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Western Cape.
