Black mulberry and damask rose seedlings distributed to farmers in Baha
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's National Research and Development Center for Sustainable Agriculture — known as Estidamah — has distributed over 20,000 black mulberry and damask rose seedlings to farmers in Al-Baha. The initiative, carried out through the center's tissue culture laboratory, is part of efforts to support farmers and transfer modern agricultural techniques to areas with comparative advantages. It continues Estidamah's contribution to a former agricultural project which saw 52,000 black mulberry, damask rose and strawberry seedlings distributed across the area. The aim is to introduce new types of seedlings, increase production efficiency and achieve a qualitative leap in the region's agricultural landscape. It reflects the center's keenness to support sustainable agricultural development by spreading highly economically viable plant varieties, which are propagated using tissue culture techniques to ensure quality, genetic purity and suitability to the targeted climatic and environmental conditions. The center continues to implement several programs that aid farmers by providing research and technical solutions based on sustainable agricultural practices, achieving optimal efficiency in using resources and maximizing production value, in line with National Agriculture Strategy objectives.

Belton seeks input on quality of life and services provided
Belton, Tx (FOX 44) – The City of Belton is sending out a resident survey to get input on government services and measure the quality of life in the community. The City plans to use this data in its upcoming strategic plan. The survey allows more people to participate in shaping that plan and the future of Belton. 'We look forward to receiving more input from residents to guide our strategic planning efforts,' City Manager Sam Listi said. 'The survey will help us get a baseline understanding of our services and allow us to measure our impact going forward.' The National Community Survey was developed by the National Research Center and is designed to capture opinions on the economy, mobility, community design, utilities, safety, natural environment, inclusivity, engagement, and other elements of Belton's overall livability. The results will show Belton's strengths, areas of improvement, and what matters most to residents. The City will also be able to see how its performance compares to other communities across the country. Randomly selected households will receive mailed survey invitations over the next few weeks. Households that receive an invitation are asked to follow the enclosed instructions and complete the survey. All residents will have the opportunity to share their input in a few weeks, when the survey becomes available to the entire community. 'We strongly encourage all residents to take the survey. The more people who participate, the better data we will have to inform our planning efforts,' Listi said. 'This is an opportunity for everyone in the community to share their thoughts and shape the future of Belton.' The survey closes on May 1, 2025. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
