We hope that the latter, whose record of mischief making on Falklands issues lisawatsonfi @gmail.com is well known, will have taken note of Boris Johnson’s fi rm declaration in his traditional Christmas message to the Islanders that he is “Not in the business of ignoring referendum Website results”. Over the past 12 months the FIA Executive Committee (ExCo), all of whom are volunteers, have been working hard to ensure that whatever the future might bring our organisation was ready to support the Islanders eff ectively. Over our long history, going back to the 1968 Emergency Committee, our organisation has adapted in line with the Islands political, economic and social development. The advent of modern electronic communications and of social media have added a further twist. We were keen that the FIA ExCo should properly refl ect the role and obligations of a body, which is responsible for administering around £50,000 of annual funding. Some of this work has been about the way we operate – updating and revising the 1984 www.fi association.com Constitution, engaging with and consulting members more.

  • Farming on the Peatlands of the Falkland Islands
    Farming on the peatlands of the Falkland Islands Jim McAdam Agri Food and Biosciences Institute, Queen’s University Belfast and the United Kingdom Falkland Islands Trust Abstract The Falkland Islands (Long 57-62°W; Lat51-53°S), land area 12,200km2 have a cool temperate (2.2°C.- 9.4°C), oceanic climate. Rainfall varies between 400-800mm and is lowest in spring. The islands were glaciated only on the highest ground with surrounding land affected by a periglacial environment. During the Post-glacial period acid, organic soils have formed mainly because of low temperature and the impervious clay-rich subsoil creating conditions which favour waterlogging. Upland peat, lowland peat or tussac (coastal) peat cover a large area of the entire land surface. Vegetation is typically dwarf shrub heath on drier soils and magellanic moorland on wetter soils. Agriculture is confined to extensive sheep farming in large enclosures (89% > c. 2000 ha). In the early days of the Colony (early 1800s) cattle roamed the islands and sheep were first introduced in the 1860s. They quickly became the main source of income on the (approx. 30) large farms which existed up until the early 1980s. Lord Shackleton’s Economic Survey (1976) recommending subdivision of the large farm units and transferring land ownership to local owners transformed the agricultural industry on the islands. Subsequently, the building of a certified abattoir in the early 2000s created further major opportunities. Traditionally, pasture improvement through reseeding and fertilising was practiced only on a very small scale. Recently the development of pastures with improved grasses and legumes coupled with rotational grazing has received much greater priority than previously.

    Falkland Islands Government The Islands Plan 2018–2022 Our vision To progress the sustainable economic, social and political development of the Falkland Islands [ for the benefit of all residents. ] Welcome to The Islands Plan Our beautiful home is unlike any other. We have a truly exceptional landscape, seascape and heritage. Diversity is everywhere: within our culture, our flora and our fauna. We are a fair, just and equal society that is democratically self-determined, and we are a proud member of the global economic, social and political communities. This document sets out our shared vision and priorities for the Falkland Islands over the next four years. It articulates our ambitions for improvements and the actions we will take to deliver positive results, across a range of key areas, for the benefit of every resident. We have an unprecedented opportunity for economic growth and The Islands Plan connects our community’s aspirations for protecting the environment, improving transport and communications links, and modernising our infrastructure, with the possibilities that exist to improve our prosperity, health and wealth for current and future generations. We also have some significant challenges that we cannot ignore. Many of our objectives will require significant investment and a suitably skilled and sufficient labour force to achieve, so we will need to take some big decisions to create the right environment for our plans to succeed. 1 The role of our civil service will be vital to the achievement This also means we will insist on our continued of our plans. The Islands Plan has to be more than simply commitment to robust principles of good governance, words on a page; it must be embedded in the day-to-day which recognise the value and importance of our activities and priorities of each department.

The production of wool and other specialty of fi bers is concentrated in the Southern Cone of the sub-continent (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and south of Brazil), where climate is temperate or deserted. Further north, with the exception of the Altiplano region, (the highlands of the Andes mountains), the production of these animal fi bers is not possible due to the tropical climatic conditions. * Delta Consultants, Director ** National Institute for Agriculture Technology, INTA 44 Proceedings of the Symposium on Natural Fibres Map 2 – South America: sheep producing areas THE PRODUCTION OF WOOL The main areas in South America producing wool are shown in Map 2.
