Last year the first forum was
held in Wuhan City, China, and was hosted by the Hubei Academy of
Agricultural Sciences. The theme for this year’s forum
in Sydney is Agriculture and the Environment. |
|
|
The officials of the Chamber
feel that an Australian presence in these regions is more achievable than
competing head-on with the efforts of USA and EU. The selected region is
predominantly rural with some large cities.
Wuhan has a population of over 10 million people. Hubei Province has 60 million people and
adjoining Hunan Province 90 million people. Chinese governments at all levels
are realising the need to change their approach to farming, due to the impact
it is having on the environment in China.
The sale of Australian technology and systems directed to reducing the
impact on the environment is seen as an opportunity that can be developed by
Australian organisations and businesses. |

Attending will be delegations
from Shanghai, Hubei, Gansu, Fujian and Beijing. Other delegations have
indicated their attendance depending on approval from the Chinese authorities
Should your company wish to
participate in the Forum we would like to have promotional material from you
of approximately 30 minutes in length, and preferably translated into
Chinese, by Monday 17th November 2003. The Chinese speeches and
promotional material will be translated into English. All the Australian speakers have
been asked to provide a list of any papers published by themselves, or which
they wish to highlight. The list will
be included in the published papers so that the Chinese can refer to them as
well as the respective speeches. |

Dr Richard Sheldrake is Director General of the NSW
Department of Agriculture. Dr
Sheldrake has a background in research with his expertise being in the immune
systems of animals. He has been
Director General of NSW Agriculture for the past year. Dr Sheldrake was formerly Deputy Director
General of NSW Agriculture and Director of Agsell the international export
section of NSW Agriculture. Dr
Sheldrake has travelled extensively especially to China, Japan and Korea. Dr Mike Curll is the current Deputy Director
of NSW Agriculture. Dr Curll is
chiefly involved in managing the environment issues facing farmers of
NSW. Issues such as water allocation
for agriculture, land use and impact of farming practices are part of Dr
Curlls duties. The political
pressures from farming constituencies placed upon the position require
careful management of the issues for the best outcomes for NSW farmers. Dr Trevor Gibson is the Program Leader for the Soil and Waste Management Organic Waste
Recycling Unit based at the Richmond Campus of the University of Western
Sydney. Dr Gibson works closely with
the organization known as Sydney Water, which provides the drinking water for
the city of Sydney. He also works
with waste disposal authorities and farmers to develop alternative uses for
products that were formerly disposed in land fill. Mr Roger Toffolon has had a lifelong interest in
the correct use and management of chemicals used in agriculture. Mr Tofflon’s career has centred on
evaluating insect resistance to chemicals and the resulting strategies needed
to be developed to over come the ineffectiveness of a chemical to control a
pest. Mr Tofflon now heads NSW
Agriculture's section to manage the correct use of agricultural
chemicals. It must be remembered that
Australian Governments strictly regulate which chemicals can be used, how
often they can be used, and management of their impact on the
environment. Mr Tofflon is
responsible for policy decisions made by national regulators being
practically applied by NSW farmers. Professor
Spooner-Hart has a
worldwide reputation for his work at Richmond Campus of UWS in the use of
predictors to control harmful insects in horticultural crops. Professor Spooner- Hart's group runs a
commercial insectory at the campus to supply predatory insects to the fruit
and vegetable industries of NSW. |
