The future of a nation largely depends on the Vision that the Government has for it. As Mauritius embarks on the Maurice Ile Durable project, it is very likely that the MID Vision will be prominent in the future. Nevertheless, there exist several other Visions for different sectors of the country which cannot be overlooked. We have tried to gather some of them for your information.

Ministry of Agro Industry and Food Security

The overarching national challenge thus is to realize a vision of a Mauritian Agri-Food system which, by 2015 and beyond, would have been restructured to become:

· diverse and multifunctional; yet, given the indispensable role of food and the basic need for food supply stability, playing an enhanced role than hitherto in securing domestic food supply and improving nutrition and health;

· modern and competitive; sustainable economically, socially and environmentally;

· an integrated and enhanced part of the rural/whole socio-economy; and
