I would also like to thank the Dean and Lecturers at the Faculty and the Staff at the University Farm for their help and support.

Agricultural Awareness Campaign Date launched: Tuesday 02nd of July 2013 Venue: Secondary Schools Time: 2-hour sessions The AGRICULTURAL AWARENESS CAMPAIGN is an initiative of the UoM Agricultural Society 2012/13 to sensitise & create an awareness of Agriculture among a larger, important public, the youth. It is a fact that Agriculture is perceived as unattractive by Mauritian youth & they are reluctant to choose it for a career. With an increasing population and rises in international food commodities, there is a need to boost up the agricultural sector. Engagement of youth in agriculture is critical as Mauritius has an ageing population, who is less likely to adopt new technologies for agricultural development. Since students in the lower grades appear to have already shaped their perception towards agriculture, it is best to target new efforts at children in their young ages. The UoM Agricultural Society has been to several colleges to inform the younger generation more about the world of agriculture. The interactive session at the institutions consisted of: Presentation on the importance, different aspects and the wide job opportunities in the agricultural sector and Discussion session at the send to allow the young express their perception and any queries This campaign is expected to carry on and target as many schools as possible.
