Abstract:
Sustainable Development is receiving growing attention from academicians, industry
representatives and policy-makers (e.g.,United Nations, 2016; European Union, 2014 Elkington
(1997), using the so-called “triple bottom line,” suggests that equal consideration should be
given to financial, environmental, and social dimensions when making business model and
policy decisions. Future Shock written by the famed futurist Alvin Toffler, in which he defined
the term ‘future shock’ as ‘too much change in too short a period of time’. In the Covid 19
pandemic too, it is the ability to cope with change, cope with the new normal, Toffler said back
then 50 years ago that ‘copability’ will be more important in the future than ‘capability’ in this
pandemic Some will succeed, some will struggle, some will perish. Survival of the fittest is the
new mantra of this pandemic. The COVID-19 lockdowns in the State and the country has
actually become a game-changer for the agriculture sector, almost in all the taluka villages of
Goa. Farmers, who had given up cultivation for decades are moving back to the occupation. In
all likelihood, nature, wildlife, traditional occupation like agriculture, fishing will be preferred
over beaches and temples & churches in the months ahead. So, the hills, trecking, bird watching,
wild life photography, mountain terrain cycling, meditation in wild life reserves, water falls,
lakes and slightly isolated locations like village tourism i.e.Agro-Eco tourism will win over
crowded favourites by our domestic tourist if not international in our beautiful Goa in this
pandemic. Goa State Agriculture Department has reported more than five-fold increase in
demand for vegetables & sale of seeds during this season. In fact the Goa Govt. should take
initiative to tie up local bodies like Gram panchayat by involving local community and important
departments like Agriculture, Tourism, Fishery, Biodiversity Cell with the passed out
unemployed students of two Agricultural colleges one from savoi verem & the other from
Quepem for promoting Agro eco-tourism in villages& involve our unemployed youths &
helpless Goan’s in providing sustainable self-employment in this pandemic situation. |
