In Nigeria (everywhere! - GW), farming needs and rewards creative agripreneurs
.../...
Worst of all may be the perception, especially strong among young people, that a life in agriculture is undesirable.
If they could see what I see everyday, many of them would change their minds. They’d learn that farming is a business that both needs and rewards creative entrepreneurs. They’d also discover that farming is on the verge of a digital revolution. Their comfort with smartphones puts them in an excellent position to flourish.
Perhaps at some point we’ll even have access to the GMOs that have helped farmers in the developed world fight pests and drought—two of agriculture’s biggest enemies, in rich and poor societies alike.
I’m fully engaged in the outreach, developing business support services, launching a crowd-funded investment venture called Peterscoin, and promoting Agric Rocks, which encourages farming through arts, entertainment, and technology.
I have big ambitions for myself, but even bigger ones for my country and my continent. We have a lot to do. We just need to find the people who are willing to do it—or at least willing to give it a try.
