Growing for the Future

After 20 years of growing hundreds of thousands of fruit saplings and fostering a successful agri enterprise, Mr. Aruna believes it's time for a change. "My children grew up with me growing plants and they have a keen wanting to continue down my footsteps. But they are young, and young people nowadays want to take things a step further. I've built my business by grafting plants in the traditional way, but by introducing tissue culturing today, I am confident my children will use this modern knowledge in a way that can benefit much more people in the future." Anura Plant Nursery is installing a tissue culture lab with the help of Australian Aid to help produce robust, disease resistant plants that will help farmers and households yield more fruitful harvests in the future. © Reza Akram / DFAT 2017
