The changing socio-economic pattern of Rodrigues has led to an increasing demand for agricultural production of quality and safe food. Agricultural production is now increasingly being characterised by the use of new technologies. It is the Rodrigues Regional Assembly (RRA) policy and vision for the adoption of a technology-based approach to render the local agricultural sector more productive, market-driven, sustainable and competitive whilst responding to the environmental and ethical standards demanded by society.
The further development of agriculture and its related industries is challenging and requires appropriate knowledge, skills and technology concepts to keep pace with the latest technological developments in that sector. This has led to the need for well-trained agricultural scientists who have the technical and practical skills in addition to in-depth knowledge of the science to meet these new challenges facing the Rodriguan agriculture.
