Just today, i was on my way to the farm with my team members to test a weeding device we are trying to build here in Ashesi University, Ghana.The nicest question a young guy who met us on the way could ask us was " are there no snakes i n the farm?" The question i asked myself was if every one were to be like him, who will feed the billions people in world? Or God created some people to be farmers? I think it is high time African youth changed their mentality about the farm and the farmer. It sounds funny when you see a young guy complete university and still be a burden to the parents in the name of no jobs when a vast arable land is lying down uncultivated.Let's write more so that we may change the Africa. thank youAVOKA AYEBILLAhttp://www.youthinfarming.org/2011/12/15-major-reasons-youth-in-africa-do-not.html#comment-formnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009927984882286787.post-74838976480182021392016-04-13T00:55:52.387+03:002016-04-13T00:55:52.387+03:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525514573042178246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009927984882286787.post-65799538845165846952015-08-02T18:13:10.561+03:002015-08-02T18:13:10.561+03:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.HS Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05207190546352026444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009927984882286787.post-42211052201638507132014-04-18T23:09:35.396+03:002014-04-18T23:09:35.396+03:00we are having the same problem here in the Caribbe...we are having the same problem here in the Caribbean, every time someone ask me what i study and i say agriculture science they ask me WHY!!!!!. they think a girl with my colour and face should study law,business, ect. i 8 it .

To begin, you don't need to compete for "massive" land, like most foreigners. Start with the small family land. In the compound, plant grafted mangoes, ovacado, oranges trees instead of flowers. Also setup a piggery barn or chicken barn and slowly start expanding. To start with the agricultural business is always the big problem. Don't think of so big land, capital etc, all that will never materialize at once!John Kibuukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825606565023263446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009927984882286787.post-25383340088189043172012-07-18T19:56:47.720+03:002012-07-18T19:56:47.720+03:00The one point I have not heard of is access to lan...The one point I have not heard of is access to land. it my country, it is more easier for a foreigner to get land than a young Cameroonian. You can only get access to land at age 45 which we no longer consider youths. Do this supports youths?WorldView Mission/OAYouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10872049920010312986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009927984882286787.post-61629813761935244452011-12-24T15:08:15.410+03:002011-12-24T15:08:15.410+03:00You are very welcome my friend.
