  • Mekelle - One of the poorest countries in the world is nevertheless setting big goals for itself and looking to richer countries for help. A 10-year, 0 billion plan aims to produce clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Kindeya Redaie has no electricity in his house, but he bought two steers with the money the state gave him in exchange for the right to put a wind turbine on his land.On the Tigray region plateau, in northern Ethiopia, 70-meter-high masts - 84 of them -  stand amid a landscape where the dry and stony soil is still turned over with a plow. The Ashegoda Wind Farm, built by the French companies Vergnet and Alstom, is a 'clean' development in one of the world's poorest nations.<br />
Like the vast majority of Ethiopians, Redaie must still settle for charcoal and 'cow wood' (dried cowpat) when he wants to cook his meals or have warm water. The power produced by the Ashegoda complex, which runs along underground cables before reaching the national network's high voltage lines, is still too expensive for him.<br />
All over, construction sites have emerged to build solutions without fossil fuels - which are for now expensively imported - and to provide a place for wind and solar energies, which are less vulnerable than hydroelectricity to repeated drought. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, under construction on the Blue Nile River and a source of tension with the country's Egyptian and Sudanese neighbors, nevertheless promises to be one of Africa's most powerful hydroelectric monsters. Government officials contributed to its funding, which will be covered by national reserves.<br />
The country is trying to create 'a green economy that will hold up to the climate,' which requires the involvement of every sector responsible or vulnerable to climate change. That means energy, of course, but also agriculture, transport, industry and construction. 'Climate change is a strategic issue for Ethiopia,' the preamble to this project statement says.

  • South Africa - Cape Town - 13 June 2020 - According to southafrica.co.za; ’’The Braunvieh, named after the brown colour of its coats, is one of the oldest and purest cattle breeds and part of beef production in South Africa, with records dating as far back as 800 BC. The breed originated in the Alps of Switzerland, from where it was exported since 1897 to most of Europe and Russia.<br />
<br />
The breed was strategically enhanced when Muri monks in the 1150 AC selected breeding according to physical structure, balance, masculinity, beef and milk production. The main purpose of breeding cattle was to provide enough income for a small farm. Cattle that scored less than 80 out of 100 were rejected, as acknowledged by the Braunvieh Cattle Breeders Society of South Africa. <br />
<br />
The Braunvieh has since had a dramatic impact on local cattle breeds globally, particularly due to quick growth, good muscle rations and build. Today, there are over 7 million registered Braunvieh cattle in 42 studbooks in more than 60 countries.<br />
<br />
Breeding Society in SA<br />
The first Braunvieh bulls were imported to South Africa in 1907, as part of a crossbreeding program of the Department of Agriculture, which aimed at breeding cattle suited for the cold highlands of South Africa.<br />
<br />
The Braunvieh Breeding Society was founded in 1925, but a split occurred in 1974 when breeders who primarily focussed on the dairy characteristics and those who focussed on dual characteristics consisting of both meat and milk, decided to go their separate ways. The dual purpose Braunvieh association gained formal recognition as a separate association in 1996.’’. Picture Courtney Africa/African News Agency(ANA)

  • South Africa - Cape Town - 13 June 2020 - According to southafrica.co.za; ''Drakensberger cattle developed out of the black indigenous cattle of South Africa, and is now part of the country's beef production. As early as 2 December 1497, Vasco da Gama mentioned the "fat, black ox" that he obtained in a trade. However, iIt was only after the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck in 1652, specifically under governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel, around 1700, that cattle farming caught on. They gained the name Vaderlanders when the Voortrekkers started farming with them and were extensively used as draught animals during the Groot Trek, which started in 1838.<br />
<br />
According to the Drakensberger Breeders’ Society, great genetic gains were made thanks to the strategic breeding programme of Jacobus Johannes Uys and his son, Dirk Cornelius, between 1814 and 1910, in the district of Wakkerstroom and Utrecht. Their efforts were continued by Dirk’s son, Coenrad and son-in-law, Joey Uys. Consequently, the cattle also became known as the Uysbeeste.’’ Picture Courtney Africa/African News Agency(ANA)
