What can agriculture scholar do!
Civilization began with agriculture. When our nomadic ancestors began to settle and grow their own food, human society was forever changed. Not only did villages, towns and cities begin to flourish, but so did knowledge, the arts and the technological sciences.
And for most of history, society's connection to the land was intimate. Human communities, no matter how sophisticated, could not ignore the importance of agriculture. To be far from dependable sources of food was to risk malnutrition and starvation.
In modern times, however, many in the urban world have forgotten this fundamental connection. Insulated by the apparent abundance of food that has come from new technologies for the growing, transportation and storage of food, humanity's fundamental dependence on agriculture is often overlooked.
The upcoming World Food Summit serves as an important opportunity to reconsider the fundamental importance of agriculture - and the degree to which the global and independent nature of human society today requires a re-thinking of our attitudes and approaches to world food production and distribution.

Advanced training in technical agriculture and communication of agricultural innovations are essential elements in the modernization of agriculture. Research and development requires individuals who have been trained at the highest levels. Postgraduate programmes should, therefore, be geared at producing graduates who can plan and conduct research, and communicate the findings to the users. The Master of Science in Agricultural Education programme is intended to produce professionals who have been grounded in technical agriculture, research and the skills of communicating agricultural technologies to producers, agricultural educationists and rural development specialists. The role in modernization of agriculture is, therefore, critical.
The Magister and or Master of Science in Agricultural Education programme consists of courses in pedagogy in agriculture, communication technology, curriculum development and educational measurement and evaluation. In addition, the students take courses in research and technical agriculture. The graduates from the programme are, therefore, prepared to assume responsibilities in teaching, training, extension, rural development and research.
Agriculture is quite a diverse field of study — not only does it cover the areas of crop and animal science, it also covers areas of study that enable students to learn how to create a profitable business. Agriculture and related courses may therefore incorporate subject areas such as computing and IT, economics, engineering and marketing. Much falls under the broad banner of ‘agriculture’, and it can suit those with interests and skills that range from farming and production to business and science.
It is essentially a vocational field of study, so most specialisations will prepare you for work in relevant jobs and industries. Workers in agriculture cultivate and manage natural resources, most commonly in primary industries such as forestry, dairy, cattle, livestock and crop management and other niche industries such as horticulture and wine.
The graduates of the programme should be able to:
1. plan, teach and evaluate school and college agricultural education programmes
2. plan, implement, monitor and evaluate agricultural extension programmes
3. plan, implement and evaluate training programmes in agriculture
4. plan and conduct research in agricultural education
5. manage agricultural and educational organization
6. pursue advanced studies in agriculture, agricultural education and agricultural extension (egerton university online : 2012)
The range of agriculture roles (and specialisations) is wide, but whether they are in a ‘hands on’ production role, an advisory or management role, or research and consultancy role, the purpose and outcome of agriculturalists’ work is typically centred around primary industries such as forestry, dairy, cattle, any type of livestock and crop management industries, or other niche industries such as horticulture or wine.
Graduates of this field can work in policy and advice, in research or in hands-on occupations ranging from quarantine officer, vineyard/farm manager and animal nutritionist to marketing officer, plant breeder and food processor. In 2011, around 20 per cent of the 2010 graduates were still seeking full-time employment several months after completing their studies — a slightly better outcome than in 2010. The average starting salary for graduates is $44,555.

Govt should stop importing rice
Rice is our important food for us in the Indonesia. Rice for breakfast, lunch and for dinner. Now a days, how can rice be a big problem for us? It’s a wonderful condition. Imagine we were Americans who can eat potatoes for breakfast, lunch and for dinner ; then, we can be fed by the harvest of Buguias, Benguet farmers. We have enough potatoes in Benguet for all of us.
Back to the topic, I believe we have enough rice supply. So, we must not importing rice from another country. We have Sumatra, Java, and another city that can produce rice more than we can think. We have land, good water, and much people to do this job. But in fact, we still importing rice from another country. Go! Let see what’s real happened.
On Article title : RI to Stop Rice Imports INN Channels, Jakarta - Vice President Jusuf Kalla said that Indonesia would stop importing rice by 2008 since national rice production is gradually on the increase. "Our national rice production is increasing by 1.8 million tons and we expect to cover this year's requirements," said Mr. Kalla on Tuesday in Jakarta. He mentioned that Indonesia imported 1.5 million tons annually in a bid of lowering the domestic rice prices. In addition to importing policies, he said, the government had also issued policy on seedlings for the farmers which amounted Rp 1 trillion. "The government has given permission to the farmers to choose where they obtain the seed as long as the price does not exceed the government has set," said Mr. Kalla. If the policy can be fully implemented, he said, government wouldn't have to import rice. "It was 50% implemented and the rice production was only increasing by 1.8 tons. That will be sufficient up to the end of this year and we won't import by the next year," said VP from inilah.com web - Rabu, 21 November 2007.
On 2007, govt made promise to stop importing rice. But, on 2012 we still find what? Importing rice is doing now. On REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA ; Monday, 23 January 2012. Article title : Farmers ask the govt to stop importing rice. Himpunan Kerukunan Tani Indonesia (HKTI) as an association of Indonesia farmers asks the goverment to stop importing rice, deputy chairman of HKTI, Rachmad Pambudi, says on Monday. "Basically, we support the increasing of COGS (Cost of Goods Sold). On the other hand, we expect the government to stop importing rice," he said firmly. Import rice inflicts losses on the farmers, since its price is lower than local rice. If COGS is increased, then the government must control the rice quality and its supply in the market. The new standard of COGS will be beneficial for the farmers.
From many years ago until now too much people agree that Indonesia must stop to importing rice. Then we see an article, title : Bulog Stopped Rice Imports in March is the title of Article in Tempo.co.politik on Tuesday, 3 April 2012. TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:State Logistics Agency (Bulog) has suspended rice imports since early March. Bulog CEO Sutarto Alimoeso said that all rice imports contracts—involving1.892 million tons of rice—have been realized with the rice incoming to Indonesia. The government has not authorized additional imports. The imported rice came from Vietnam, Thailand, India, and Myanmar.
However, the government and Bulog are still exploring the possibility of importing rice form other countries such as Cambodia. The approach with Cambodia has been conducted since last year, but, no deal has been made. “We are exploring the possibility of importing rice from other countries to avoid monopoly which can lead to higher prices,” said Sutarto via telephone on Monday.
Once again, we find a fact. Article title : Govt should stop importing corn and rice: HKTI article on The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Mon, May 14 2012. The government should stop importing corn and rice and start learning from Japan on how to support their farmers, the Indonesian Farmers’ Union (HKTI) said. “The Japanese government has not imported corn and rice from Thailand although they could lower domestic prices by doing so,” HKTI national board secretary general Benny Pasaribu said on Monday as quoted by tribunnews.com. “The [Japanese] government seems not to want to hurt their farmers’ feelings by importing.” He said the HKTI was ready to assist the government with its experts to help develop the agricultural sector and improve the local farmers’ welfare.
So guys, We've seen the evidence and data. from 2007 to 2012, all walks of life have supported to stop importing rice. rice fields, land, fields, all of the resources at our disposal to be able to support us to generate good quality rice. rest assured that we do business with, and prayer with God's will, we were able to produce enough rice for our grandchildren. so, from now on Let's support each other. stop the import of rice for Indonesia's progress. waste of a lazy in works produced high quality rice.
