I HAVE A DREAM
I love Agriculture, and I have a big dream hence my involvement in this sector. My dream is in the setting up of sustainable food systems in Africa. I shall make myself a big employment creator, I want to create employment in farming and farming-related commercial activities. The business I am setting up in Africa involves all the activities done to send agricultural goods to the market: production, processing and distribution and to the table where we use a fork and knife to eat.

MY DREAM IN AGRICULTURE
My Journey in the Agriculture Industry:
​
Although I have been trying to run away from it, Agriculture has been my life, from primary school age up to college, with results from my studies and my work I have founded a farming Organisation called the Farmer's Pride International, this Organisation has given me an opportunity to share my skills and great vision on Agriculture, to move with time and to reach out to many people I have also put in place an online Farmer's Business School to help me promote Sustainable and regenerative farming, the farming organisation is now in 30 African Countries, and it is in my dream and hopes that with time it shall spread to other parts of the world.
​
My Agro-Based Passion:
​
I love agriculture, it makes me more African, and it has kept me close to nature and breathing fresh air. Because of my passion in this sector I have travelled on working business to countries like China where I have been 10 times for training between the year 2009 and 2018, the USA, Switzerland, Britain, UAE and several African countries, during these trips I discovered so many untapped opportunities in the Agribusiness and I would like to see them grow and benefit the poor in Africa. Agriculture is one sector that you can invest less but rip more, and there are fewer risks and higher returns on investments.
​
In my years of working under this sector I have become a master of the seven branches of Agriculture which are as follows:
​
-
Agronomy.
-
Horticulture.
-
Forestry.
-
Animal husbandry.
-
Fishery science.
-
Agricultural Engineering and.
-
Home science.
​​
Is Agriculture good for a Career?
​
Career in Agriculture is one of the largest industries and a good source of employment across the country. Agriculture also plays a vital role in the Indian economy. ... It promotes the efficient production of quality food in the agricultural-food industry & on the farm linked to farming.
​
Studying agriculture in the US means that you'll be working in an important industry that is both considered to be fast-moving and high-tech. Courses in animal science, food production, horticulture, property management, environmental preservation and zoology are all areas explored within agriculture.
​​
What are the benefits of agriculture?
​
Higher crop productivity. Decreased use of water, fertilizer, and pesticides, which in turn keeps food prices down. Reduced impact on natural ecosystems. Less run off of chemicals into rivers and groundwater.
​
What are the five importances of agriculture?
​
The importance of agriculture goes above and beyond farming. It's evolved into forestry, fruit cultivation, beekeeping, arbitrary, mushroom, dairy, etc. Today, the processing, distribution, and marketing of crops and livestock are products that have created a sub-sector in form of Agribusiness and are all acknowledged as a part of agriculture.​

Agribussiness Dream
I have a dream of a great partnership between western country donors, funding institutions and investors in the African Agriculture, to support the youths who losing their hope as they finish their education and find the job market shirking.
I have a big dream and that dream needs you to happen.
Also worth exploring are ICTs for the market. When one talks about business, the first thing that comes to mind is “market” and markets affect smallholder agriculture production from inputs supply such as seed, agrochemicals, farm machinery to the outputs or products delivered to the final consumer either in the local, regional or international market.
Access to market information helps farmers find out about market prices, make decisions regarding when to harvest, how to negotiate with intermediaries, etc.
ICTs models such as esoko in a number of Sub-Saharan Africa countries, e-Choupal and Reuters Market Light in India, Manobi in Senegal, Infotrade in Uganda, and Zambian National Farmers Union MIS are just the tip of the iceberg.
The traditional agricultural extension service, which has been a public platform over the decades, is undergoing a lot of reforms to create an enabling environment for the private sector to heavily invest in the ICTs sector. With the new models of agricultural extension reforms such as decentralization, privatization, commercialization, pluralism, and partnerships, there should not be any barrier for the private sector in using ICTs to enhance agribusiness in Africa.
American and European businessmen and companies interested in Africa’s agriculture should not make mistake by ignoring the importance of “information” in their business – ICTs can help when recognized and incorporated into the agribusiness plan!
