Investing in Seed, Agriculture, Research, and breeding innovations will save the continent. Africa has a huge potential and I am happy that we are now having a conversation in this direction 🎉🎉

I agree a great interactive discussion, for African countries to sustain a momentum of economic stability and growth the agricultural sector should be the focal point as the various processes of this sector will create jobs.and transform lives .

Though long, it was a healthy exchange of thoughts from diverse personalities. Electrification is central to achieving agricultural transformation in Africa.

I agree with the points, however, let us ask ourselves, why is agriculture an unattractive industry especially to the youth in the eyes of attractive facilities?

I agree with the white man in the beginning. That is why I setup a charity focussed on upskilling. That is the first thing to do. And once upskilled - there should be a programmed that these individuals go through from there.

Africkaans can grow their own foods as individuals what is needed is how to make use of every drop of rain water like using drip irrigation water pumps using water wind mill where possible people should use every bit of land where possible secondly they don't need to use chemical fertilizers to poison the land

Where are the African Civil engineers? We need our doctors, business magnate entrepreneurs, scientists and everyone and everything. We don’t need as many politicians anyway cos most are thieves and pen armed robbers. Now is the time for us people to move forward. Do not waste this opportunity please. God bless Africa, God blessings to humanity.
