Vision :To create a PROSPEROUS society that derives enduring and equitable benefits from Science & Technology.
Mission :To Develop, Coordinate and Manage a National System of Innovation (NSI) that will bring about
» Science Councils (R&D), e.g. CSIR, ARC, MRC, MINTEK, CGS etc)
» Higher Education Institutions (Universities & Univ of Technologies)
» Private Sector (industry & Firms)» Government Departments & NGO’s
maximum human capital – [knowledge development (R&D)] , sustainable economic growth and improved quality of Life .
The ability of a country to sustain rapid economic growth in the long run , is highly dependent on the effectiveness with which its institutions & policie s support knowledge generation, technological transformation and innovativeness of its enterprise s.

“It is only by standing on the shoulders of giants that I have been able to see further”
- Sir Isaac Newton, 1642–1727 Isaac Newton, Letter to Robert Hooke, February 5, 1675”
Quo Vardis . . . ?
Economy shift from production to manufacturing (beneficiation) &servicesGreen-Consumerism, i.e. drive to replace synthetics with organic constituents, and organic
molecules and products.
Climate Change challengesHow do we stimulate the uptake of novel technology solutions?
Creation of Wealth and Job Opportunities
What are the areas that lend themselves to post-harvest science & technology solutions?
Agro-processing
Bio-prospecting in indigenous bio-diversityIndigenous Medicinal Plants (scientifically-proven)
Essential Oils (aroma-therapeutic oils)
Aquaculture
“There is only one reliable pathway to economic pro sperity, and that‘s to be over-concentrated in
knowledge-based industries.” -Lou Glazer, President of Michigan Future-
National Policy Framework
Macro-Economic Reform Strategy (MERS) - 2002“processes that transform natural products into manufactured products & all associated processes… include the extraction of raw materials and procurement of inputs, production of intermediate goods and final products, packaging, marketing, distribution & retail”
Accelerated Shared Growth Initiative (ASGISA) - 2005“promoting opportunities for participation of marginalized communities in economic activity, & improving the quality of livelihoods of the poor”
Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) - 2009Ensuring more inclusive economic growth, decent work and sustainable livelihoodsEconomic and social infrastructureRural development, food security and land reform
Industrial Policy Action Plan II (IPAP) - 2010Inclusive & Diversified Economic Growth, and Agro-processing
DST Policy Framework on
Development
White Paper on Science & Technology (1996)“Enhancing the Quality of Life (Chapter 2: 2.3); environmental sustainability, health provision, meeting basic community needs and reducing the cost of infrastructure provision”.
DST, National Research & Development Strategy (2002 )“establish a mission, technology for poverty reduction, to address one of the scourges of our age”
DST: Farmer to Pharma Strategy (F2Ph) (2007)“become a world leader in biotechnology & pharmaceuticals, based on the nation’s indigenous resources & expanding knowledge base”
“. people centred society, freedom from want, freedom from hunger, freedom from deprivation”. - President Nelson. R Mandela, May 1994 -
DST’s Response to Policy
(2000) Established the Poverty Relief ProgrammeProjects were in the disaster management / emergenc y relief modeagro-processing (beekeeping, leather, animal & plant fibre, crafts & paper making) .Developmental Project looking at low technologies
(2002) Technology for Development programme Improve quality of life by creating (directed) acce ss to technology, skills & know-how for Poverty Reduction in order to improv e Quality of Life (IQL).
(2005) Technology for Social Impact ProgrammeMandate: Demonstrate and implement innovation & Tec hnology transfer, for wealth & Job Creation and IQL.S&T for Sustainable Livelihoods & Human Settlement technology areas.Develop MODELS for anti-poverty strategies,
“There is only one reliable pathway to economic prosperity, and that‘s to be over-
concentrated in knowledge-based industries.” -Lou Glazer, President of Michigan Future-
DST’s: Farmer to Pharma Strategy
SA has the 3rd largest biodiversity in the worlda rich plant biodiversity,
one of the 6 plant kingdoms in the world and
almost 10% of all plants known to humankind occur exclusively within our borders
Wealth of indigenous knowledge
Wealth of “new” knowledge, research & IP
Drive to grow the bio-economy
Increasing Social Imbalances
“South Africa must become a world leader in biotechnology and the pharmaceuticals, based on
the nation’s indigenous resources and expanding knowledge base”
How DST we work?
Reformulated under the bio-economy banner &linkages to the DST 10yr Innovation Plan to harvest from the National System of Innovation (NSI) undertake demonstration & introduction of Technology Solutions, that addresses market failures, enhances quality of life; create jobs and wealth opportunities
Diversified and Inclusive Economic GrowthFood Security
Technology transfer of above-ground Post-Harvest beneficiation, (value-addition) technologies, & value-chain development of natural resources.Source, package & demonstrate innovative technology solutions inpartnership with the NSI (Universities, Science Councils, Industry, etc)
wealth creation through SMME’s and job creationHuman Capital developmentCluster Technologies (3 thrust areas):
Demonstration AgronomyDiversified Post-Harvest Beneficiation, andAquaculture (marine & fresh H2O; cold & warm ToC)
Placement of Economic Infrastructure in proximity to communities

“Aquaculture, not the Internet, represents the most promising investment opportunity of the 21st Century.”(Peter Drucker, Economist).
Aquaculture
Demonstrate technical and commercial viabilityCage Grow-Out (Trout Small-Scale)Fresh Water Fin Fish (tilapia, catfish, [carp and t routMarine Fin Fish (yellowtail, dusky & Silver Cob) , andShell fish (Abalone)
Introduce industry-standard affordable low -tech cage-culture
HDPE (High Density Poly-Ethylene) Cages
Technology TransferIndigenous species (abalone, tilapia, catfish, silv er kob) carp & troutSkills, Know-How, equipment
Enterprise Creation(SMME, PPP, Co-Op’s and Joint-Ventures etc)
“ controlled cultivation ” of a variety of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and aq uatic plants in marine and freshwater mainly for human consumption , industrial use, and recreational purposes. . . “implies some form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, feeding, and protection from predators etc. [It] also implie s ownership of the stock being cultivated…”- FAO
Aquaculture Pilots
Ascertain the commercial potential of cage culture for indigenous species;
technical, economic and environmental feasibility
Develop a basis for commercial aquaculture development directed at Black Economic Empowerment (BEE), participation of rural communities; product beneficiation andBuild local capacity through tech transfer, training and skills development
provide an opportunity for socio-economic developme nt and beneficiation of rural resources and communities through the sustainable non-consumptiveutilization of water resources. Utilizes State-Owne d or privately-owned dams.
provide access to open water systems in a manner th at minimizes operational risks, reduce operational cost, exclude advance ski lls & technologies as entry barriers to participation.
