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 🎉🎉

Very interested presentation

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 .

great conversation...agricultural growth is vital to the national security of african nations..

Very helpful discussion for the African farmers.

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

Transformation can take place if the political will power is there to lay down platforms for that. First of all, you are not competing with the world, but rather internally. It is the surplus that is theoritically alwasy exported. Take into consideration the function of the Gross Domestic Product. Second, education and skills are indispensable. In order to speed up the venture to a higher-level, this means producing on a large scale, Africa must introduce immediately the use of advanced tools, this means machines or better said agricultural machines. One of the platforms I mentioned above is venture capital, which the State must pay more attention to. The unskilled labour force could improve in a short term to a high skilled level on the field. With the aid of agricultural research institutes, I think Africa, has numerous capabilities and facilities, so that in the end all will rest on the political will as mentioned in the beginning.

Irrigation is the problem of farming in nigeria

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

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?

great debate... lets walk the talk now... for those of us working with farmers ... this discussion is very encouraging and motivating!

Thank you...brother

yes. DONT EXPORT BANANAS... make baby food from bananas and export that. so they need to work on the capacity to process food.

Watching this in 2019, wonder what have been implemented so far...

Exactly! My thoughts exactly!

So many good points, I hope it wasn't just all talk.

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. *MAKE OUR FARMERS GREAT AGAIN* My deep respect for the likes of president Buhari of Nigeria, Kagame of Rwanda, the presidents of Ghana, Tanzania, Angola, Ethiopia and so on. Adesina, Dangote, Mo Ibrahim are of a different league.

All the monies you need are in the BANKS IN EUROPE...FRANCE ETC.

Instead of rice,which is most likely poison, better mushmelons

nbc and their token blacks for Chelsea soccer too? affiliates to netherlands and saudi arabia to berlin? Wow, did they pick Mara Teigen out strategically too? I can't imagine what mind project and criminals she and her aes/ aesthetics si c and quantum could have been hand picked by? Maxim and Si for wilhelmina too or vegas groupie favors through quantum as a minor? Either way, I would say it is criminals on more then one playing field, especially when the affiliates have been targeting my family, son and I since at least aug. 2015

Big big English, only theory, and any country who has no stable electricity can't develop agriculturally, especially Nigeria. Please we need action and sincerity. Africa is very beautiful but the politician, and policy makers are just selfish and wicked.

What are you talking about? Nigeria has been doing well... slow & steady! Rotimi Williams and others. All you have to do is follow some of them on social media. Nigerian rice farmers, snails, fish farming. I’m in America and I follow lots of them. God Bless them.

The fact that Maskin went to Harvard doesn't mean jack shit. Excuse the expression but its exactly what i mean. Maskin is only going trasmit information that will work only within the current upside down toxic pharma corporate sytem. It will produce no more than what is produced in countries already successful in that system. He knows next to nothing about sustainable agriculture I'm absolutely certain. He's just an ivory tower intellectual who's stupid framework of ideas appears as advanced. It will result in toxic GMO foods, toxic poisonous fertilizers and insecticides. It will result in rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds being innundated with insecticides, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, bio sludge, chemicals, etc. Ground water will be poisoned all just for corporate profits. Im not saying he has nothing of value but any value will further the current worldview and not surpass it. Afrikan agricultural scientists need to pionneer and think and come up with out of the Box(Cube) solutions to the problem system we curently live in. It requires independent thinking

How do you talk for a hour and say absolutely nothing.

He lost me at ' there's a Big Role for gvrts" ...........
