A better year ahead / 'n Beter jaar wink / soos ons dit sien
The recent successful World Dairy Summit in Cape Town has proved that the South African dairy industry has the capability to launch big projects together as a unit. This surely indicates the way forward regarding further new projects that need to be developed, such as a national dairy strategy and an export strategy for the industry. The Summit was well received by all international visitors and South Africa can truly be proud of the effort that was put in to host the event.
Die onlangse suksesvolle Wêreld Suiwelspitsberaad in Kaapstad het bewys dat die Suid-Afrikaanse suiwelbedryf die kapasiteit het om groot projekte gesamentlik as 'n eenheid aan te pak. Dit dui beslis die weg vorentoe aan betreffende verdere nuwe projekte wat ontwikkel moet word, soos 'n nasionale suiwelstrategie en 'n uitvoerstrategie vir die bedryf. Die Beraad is goed ontvang deur alle internasionale besoekers en Suid-Afrika kan met reg trots wees op die moeite wat daar ingesit is om die gebeurtenis aan te bied.
Innovasie is maar die fancy manier van sê: "'n Boer maak 'n plan." Natuurlik is dit die wyer landboubedryf wat deurlopend innoverend móét wees om voor te bly met voedselproduksie, maar dit is veral die melkprodusent wat flink moet dink om die kosteknyptang vry te spring.

The common misinterpretation with the new "water footprint" concept is that it is a tool that could be used to tell people what to do. In fact, it is a tool that can be used to give more insight into how water use can be made more sustainable and benefit the farmer in the long term.
