Foodgrains Bank seeks increase in aid A target of $3,000,000 in grain and cash donations has been set by church -sponsored Canadian Foodgrains Bank. The target is 66 percent above donations in the Bank's first year of operations, but can readily be consumed in a world ridden by hunger. Support is doubly attractive to producers, as donations are both tax deductible and multiplied threefold by a federal commitment through the Canadian Internati loan Development Agency (CIDA) . According to CFB chairman, Jake Janzen, the goal appears realistic in light of interest expressed already, despite a tough year for most Prairie grain producers. If the goal is reached, it will provide $12 million in grain value for the Foodgrains Bank to distribute overseas. Most of the $1.8 million in support last year came from the prairie provinces. Janzen hopes the more fortunate producers this year will be able to make contributions, As well, a major drive for corn is starting in Ontario. Mozambique is the destination for up to 160,000 bushels (4,000 metric tonnes) of Ontario corn, with a value (commodity and treignt) 01 jusi over one reunion aouars. Corn has been gathered before for ethergency shipment to the African nation, but under auspices of the CFB's predecessor, the Mennonite Central Committee ( Canada) Food Bank. In its first year of operation, the severe church partners used the Foodgrains Bank to co-ordinate and arrange a dozen shipments of wheat, beans and corn to nine countries. Shipments reached 28,910 tonnes by mid-September, leaving only 624 tonnes in the Bank's reserves. Canadians, through the Foodgrains Bank, were able to respond to needs generated by crop failures, drought, floods and refugee settlements, as well as to deliver grain for several development projects. Churches and Christian agencies in India, Zimbabwe, El Salvador, Peru, Haiti and other countries took responsibility for distributing the food. According to executive director, Wilbert Loewen,, this food aid system is a highly reliable channel for delivering help. "The needy receive all of the grain we ship, without charge," he says. "Our partners carefully monitor the delivery of each shipment, from port to village." The World,Food Program of the United Nations estimates more than half the African countries, for example, are seriously short of food. An estimated 150,000,000 people in that continent alone are suffering malmitrition and hunger. Loewen and the CFB recognize food aid is not a cure-all for world hunger and in no way replaces other progrartis of economic and social development run by the member churches. The Foodgrains. Bank uses the slogan "Fight Hunger. Make a Deposit", and describes itself as "A Christian Response to Hunger". Donations can be arranged through the seven partner offices or by contacting the Foodgrains Bank office: P.O. Box 767, Winnipeg, MB R3C 2L4. 'Member churches include: Canadian Baptist Federation, Canadian Lutheran World Relief, The Christian & Missionary Alliance, Christian Reformed World Relief Committee of Canada, Mennonite Central Committee Canada, The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, and The United Church of Canada. Agriculture is being pub back into class The Ministry of Agriculture and Food is taking the first steps toward putting agriculture back into the classroom this fall, Agriculture and Food Minister Dennis Tim- brell said September 6. Timbrell announced the first in a series of agricultural education initiatives, which will be introduced by the ministry this school year, at the annual media day for the International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show. - "Agriculture used to be part of the school curriculum," he said. "It's only in the past 15 to 20 years that the situation has changed. Today, we find food production a forgotten school subject." He said by putting agricultural education back into the classroom, the ministry hopes to increase public awareness of this vital " sector of the economy especially in the ur- ban areas. The first of the ministry's initiatives is a catalogue of resource materials available to teachers to help them portray a realistic view of modern agriculture. More than 600 items, 'including slide presentations', booklets, posters and publications, are listed in the catalogue which is being distributed to every elementary, secondary, and private, school in Ontario next week. School boards will also receive a copy of the catalogue. The second is a series of fojr video-tape programs wflich compare high-tech agricultural practices with those of the past. Two programs are planned for elementary school children — a primary level program about farm animals, and a junior level looks at past and present fruit and vegetable pro- duction methods. Subject matter for the two secondary school programs will deal with scientific ad- vances in agriculture including embryo transplants, nyoria corn, breeding and plan- ting techniques. Funds for the video pro- grams are being made available through the Ontario Bicentennial Commission. The tapes will be available to teachers in March 1985. A guidance film looking at careers in modern agriculture is the third initiative to be launched this school Oar. The film, aim- ed at Grades 7 through 11, was sponsored by Optario institute gt.,Agrologists, and several farm businesses "in co-operation with the Ministry of; Agriculture and Food. It will be available in January 1985. "The Ministry of Agriculture and Food is working with the Ministry of Education to introduce new curriculum guidelines which include agricultural education , at the elementary and secondary school level," said Timbrell. "By preparing some of the necessary teaching aids, we have taken the first step toward realizing this goal." Financial management for farmers continues as priorityin Ministry of Agriculture program Within the current economic climate, farmers should view production and finan- cial management as equally important to the success of their business. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food continues to emphasize the high priority of wise money management to the farm communi- ty. Managing for profit is the ultimate goal according to farm accountants and financial advisors. In a joint program, qualified accounts with input from OMAF personnel, have planned a series of Financial Management for Farmers meetings. Be sure to register early for the course in your community.
