But granaries need to be somewhat open and breathe so that the seeds do not rot, safeguarding them for the next planting season. Every year, seeds are brought in and taken out of the granary. New seeds from other farmers might come in, or seeds from your own plants that have been modified by crossbreeding. You might also give seed from your granary to other farmers in exchange. This is what guarantees future crops for you and others. As seeds, knowledge also needs to breathe, be freely exchanged and cross-pollinated to guarantee humanity's capacity to know, innovate and adapt.

  • Annual Review 2016
    The R&A Review 2016|17 Foreword Welcome to our review of the activities of The R&A for 2016/17. It was a very good year. Our merger with the Ladies’ Golf Union became a reality and a historic arrangement that divided the administration of our sport at the Home of Golf was removed. Our staff and committee structures will now function as one. We actively promote the view that golf will grow as a family-based sport and putting the administration of women’s and men’s golf in the same place makes absolute sense. In recent years, we have invested heavily in the presentation of the men’s amateur and professional events in The R&A portfolio. Now we will invest again in the championships and international matches that have been nurtured, skilfully, with lesser resources in the women’s branch of our sport. At the pinnacle of the professional game The Open and the Ricoh British Women’s Open gave us champions in 2016 who will inspire a new generation of golfers. Henrik Stenson triumphed at Royal Troon to become the first male Swede to win a Major and Ariya Jutanugarn became the first Thai Major winner at Woburn. Stenson followed up by taking Silver in the men’s competition at the Olympic Games in Rio behind Justin Rose while Inbee Park performed brilliantly to win Gold in the women’s event. Golf enjoyed a hugely memorable return to the Olympic Games and the exposure the sport received will help us to reach new participants and audiences for golf around the world.
