Implementation Strategy of Forest Tree Seed in South Kalimantan Province

The green revolution movement is an action to change people's behavior quickly and precisely to care for environment quality through planting activities in South Kalimantan Province. This movement requires the quality forest tree seed supply, thus requiring research to determine an integrated and systematic strategy for developing forest tree seed programs in South Kalimantan in the next 10 years. SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) with the analytical hierarchy process approach is used to determine the planning strategy. The results of the analysis show that the position of forest tree seed implementation programs is in an investment position, which shows a big opportunity but still has internal constraints/weaknesses. Weakness-opportunities strategies were chosen with 6 programs, i.e.: increasing the human resources competence; construction of facilities and infrastructure for seeds and seedlings certification; organizing certification of seed sources, seedling quality and seed quality; development of superior seed sources; strengthening of quality seed and seed production systems; and the provision of technological information, documentation and supervision systems of the seed and seedling distribution. This strategy can be described in a work program which is expected to be able to improve the performance of the forest tree seed implementation in order to provide quality seeds and seedlings and to become a community economic generator from the forest tree seed sector in South Kalimantan.

Ora-pro-nóbis em uso alimentar humano: percepção sensorial

<p>O governo brasileiro incentiva o consumo de hortaliças não convencionais, como forma de aproveitamento da biodiversidade brasileira e suprimento de necessidades nutricionais de forma viável a população, principalmente a de baixa renda. A Ora-pro-nóbis (<em>Pereskia aculeata</em> Miller) é uma hortaliça nativa brasileira que se propaga facilmente, cujo cultivo apresenta baixa incidência de doenças e de demanda hídrica. É viável para o cultivo doméstico, como fonte nutricional alternativa e de baixo custo, sendo uma hortaliça recomendada para o consumo diário na alimentação, nas formas crua e/ou processada. Neste trabalho, buscou-se ampliar o uso o e cultivo da Ora-pro-nóbis, com a produção e distribuição de mudas em um evento tradicional na Zona Rural de Uberlândia, a Semana da Família Rural, em sua 26ª edição, no Instituto Federal do Triângulo Mineiro – Campus Uberlândia. Durante o evento foram distribuídas amostras de alimentos processados com folhas de Ora-pro-nóbis <em>in natura </em>ou previamente secas, para degustação e avaliação da apreciação. Também foram distribuídas mudas de Ora-pro-nóbis aos interessados, mediante cadastro prévio. Os dados apresentados revelaram interesse da população no uso da planta e a aceitação dos produtos incrementados com as folhas da planta, uma vez que de 600 pessoas participantes, 232 participaram da degustação de pelo menos um produto alimentício e 156 levaram mudas para o plantio.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Ora-pro-nóbis in human food consumption: sensorial perception</em></strong></p><p class="Standard"><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>Brazilian government encourages the consume unconventional vegetables to avail the biodiversity from the country and nourish the population, mainly the low-income people. Ora-pro-nóbis (<em>Pereskia aculeata</em> Miller) is a brazilian native vegetable which is easily propagated and has low diseases and low request water rates. As a low-cost nutritional source, this vegetable is viable to home cultivation and recommended for the daily consume <em>in natura</em> or processed. This essay objectified to expand Ora-pro-nóbis cultivation by seedling distribution in a traditional event called Rural Family Week, in its 26ª edition. During the event, Ora-pro-nóbis seedling and food products cooked with Ora-pro-Nóbis leaves were distributed for testing and evaluation. It was observed large interest in food products with Ora-pro-nóbis leaves, considering that 232 people tasted the products and 156 took seedlings to cultivate in 600 who participated.</p>
