Forum Tasks African Leaders On Agric Dev

The Programme Officer,
sub-Saharan Africa Challenge Forum for Agricultural Research (FARA), Dr Oluwole Fatunbi, has said that Africa needs to think deeply now than ever as far as the adoption of agricultural development is concerned.
In a press release obtained by The Tide from Agronigeria at the weekend, Fatunbi said Nigeria should learn from the failures of other countries in the agric development agenda.
He said agricultural research development in Nigeria and Africa should endeavour to look nto the direction of ecological agriculture development.
According to him, Africa’s population growth today means the country had a lot of households and people to feed.
Fatunbi said with the level of food production, all hands should be on deck to conduct research and to equally find a way through which development can follow research findings.
“For us in FARA, the awareness continues and in less they no time, people will start doing things rightly,” he said.
He expressed the opinion that Africa was rising, adding that presently a lot of innovations and new discoveries about organic agriculture are coming into focus.
Basically according to him, FARA among other things is forming a coalition of stakeholders for the purpose of festering agricultural innovation platforms in the past on organic agriculture in Africa as a whole and Nigeria in particular.
