BANANA FLOWERS
It just seems that Australian BANANAgrowers are either TOOdumb or TOOlazy to market a FOODproduct when there is a need to utilise agricultural production. Here is a great product that sadly is not seen in super markets or anywhere really. So how can all those people FROM ELSEWHERE going to get the GOODfood they like and enjoy?? Australian BANANAgrowers need t get real and soonish!!

ECOGANIC BANANAS
GO TO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9z-dCZMrD4
Given that this video has been watched by so few and apparently rather few BANANAgrowers is lamentable. Clearly the Sciaccas have much yet to offer.
One has to wonder what they might be achieved with the production and marketing of plantain bananas, non Musa acuminata Cavendish bananas, banana flowers, banana stem and banana fibre even. If the likes of Dianne & Frank Sciacca received the encouragement it seems they didn't get from 'the industry' or government were might the industry be right now?
Dianne & Frank Sciacca's ACTION RESEARCH deserves to get more recognition than it has and especially so in regard to the PANAMA TR4 PROGRAM. It seems that ECOGANICfarming has something to offer and more to the point the funding to fight TR4 might well be better spent on other things.

BANANA RESEARCH
 |
| LINK |
Bananas are not just a food crop, they have huge industrial potential if opportunities are well exploited. As a matter of fact, banana as one of the 10 priority national food crops in the NDP with its vision to “A Transformed Ugandan Society from a Peasantto a Modern and Prosperous Country within 30 years." While Australia is not Uganda this by itself should not be the reason to ignore 'the banana's' potential as a 'food crop' in the way that it is clearly, and somewhat arrogantly, being ignored by by 'banana growers' in Australia. Given their largely Eurocentric heritage this may not be all that surprising.
Then comes what is all too often past of as research is initiated by 'the industry'. Consequently, it seems much of it hardly qualifies as 'research' leading to new and better understandings. Since the growing of bananas is an important agricultural activity and the banana plant is an important 'food source' there is a need for more research that leads to new and better understandings of its potential.
This definition of research encompasses pure and strategic basic research, applied research and experimental development. Applied research is original investigation undertaken to acquire new knowledge and that includes 'client driven' investigations.
INDUSTRIAL BANANA GROWING impacts upon CULTURALlandscapes and as often as not dynamically when it is grown as a MONOculture crop. Furthermore, as a 'fruit/berry' it figures large in Eurocentric cultural expressions but as a 'plant' as a 'food and fibre source' in Australia its potential remains largely unexplored territory.

OH MY GOODNESS IS THIS FOR REAL?
After WW2 my father was a BANANA FARMER and before that my GREATgrandfather was one and my son and his partner have just bought a CLAPPEDout BANANA FARM - a slice of paradise actually. With all that in the background and what has been gleaned to post here, I'm finding it extraordinarily difficult to empathise in regard to this so-called crisis. If you are going to insist on doing the same but slightly differently in the search for a way out of a messy hole you are just digging a deeper hole. A paradigm shift is required.
Listen to Eienstein! Then ask 'what mistakes'?

OUT OF TOUCH FOOD PRODUCERS?
With world food resources under stress is this one dimensional approach to food production in Australia acceptable with the industry reliant upon to PUBLIC PURSE to assist in maintaining the STATUS QUO unsustainable as it is?

BANANA WINE
The interesting thing here is that there are a variety of wines and a relatively diverse range of banana varieties of banana. All fit the local FOODculture and most interesting the Cavendish does not seem to figure at all.
The methodology involved in making this product is clearly articulated and it is easy to see this as a jumping off point for whole range of other products that would include blends and the distillation of spirits.
