SEPT-OCT '17

“Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.”
(“A Prayer In Spring”, excerpt from the poem by Robert Frost)

A warm and bright welcome to our Sept/Oct 2017 edition of the AGRIFOODSA Magazine, dear reader. Our shiny new spring edition aims to “keep us here, all simply in the springing of the year”, as Robert Frost so eloquently put it. I’ve started this editorial letter with the poem since spring is the season to be poetic, romantic, fresh and vibrant.

Rejoice and enjoy the fruits of spring,
