Mauritius is challenged both in terms of food autonomy and the demographics of its agricultural sector. The government plan seeks to reduce the dependency on imports, thereby diminishing loss of currency and CO2 footprint. Furthermore, it seeks to ensure a continuity and economic viability of its agricultural sector, whose backbone is constituted by the small planters. Yet a majority of these are over 50 years of age. It is therefore socially, economically and environmentally vital, that demand and supply of sustainable Fresh Fruit and Vegetables (FFV) be achieved in a way that strengthens this agricultural population and provides inspiring perspectives for the next generation.
Call for Collabortion
Digitalisation fundamentally alters the way we do business and how we interact with one another and with our environment. This challenges all of us to shape this new playing field to enable a good life for everyone. There are great opportunities for organisations as well as for sustainability, but with them, we also face new responsibilities.
