IRRIGATION MAGAZINE

Irrigazette n°128 - Int° Irrigation Magazine
At the start of a new year, it is quite customary to take stock of the past year and plan ahead for the next one with optimism.
As 2011 ends, the only question that comes to mind is « How have we come to this? » The list of events is lengthy : tornadoes, floods, nuclear catastrophe, the fall of dictators, death of Osama Bin Laden and Gaddafi, the Arab Spring with an uncertain outcome, and, finally, the icing on the cake, the economic and financial crisis that is affecting Europe.
At this very time when I am writing this article, we do not even know for sure whether the Euro will still exist in 2012. Will the manufacturers of irrigation equipment have to recalculate their prices in lire, pesetas, francs, etc.? This concern is not science-fiction and we are all anticipating the worst.
The European irrigation farmers and professionals, through their association, have, for many years, attempted to get the different European countries to work together. Everyone will recall all the difficulties encountered, but they will also remember the dedication put into the venture. Today, it is working, it provides training, it monitors standards ; in a word, it actually exists and deserves a triple-A rating. That’s a good lesson that should inspire our politicians.
So what can we expect from the future? Our world has just welcomed its seven billionth inhabitant. Agriculture is here to feed the planet and to achieve this the areas given to agriculture will have to increase and there will have to be far more land cultivated under irrigation. That is the challenge facing agriculture and the irrigation sector. Meeting the demand for water will require the construction of reservoirs and modern methods of irrigation must be encouraged. And one thing is for sure: these methods will have a decisive role to play in meeting these challenges.
We hope that this coming year will be fruitful and productive for you and that it will enable us to look to the future with a positive approach.
