Bukar Usman (D.V.M., M.V.S.c)‘s insight:
Online efforts such as this one may just help Africa to feed itself. Two of the site’s supporters agree that agriculture has lots of potential to create jobs, generate wealth and reduce poverty. However, such accomplishments require farmers to become entrepreneurs. They must know where the inputs are and be linked to a good market. In describing the group they write: “…It is an interaction of interest and hopefully through this engagement we can encourage each other to expand and improve our farming investments or start an agribusiness if we haven’t already.”
