We are happy to invite you to the new online discussion on The Future of Family Farming: Providing Resources for Women and Young Farmers
The 2014 International Year of Family Farming (IYFF) focuses attention on the role of family farming in eradicating hunger and poverty and aims at identifying policies and interventions to support family farmers.
In this guest post, Stephanie Brittain of Agriculture for Impact outlines the need to encourage more young Africans to study the agricultural sciences, as a route to a food secure and prosperous continent.
In 2012, sub-Saharan African countries’ food import bill reached US$37.7 billion. Turning Africa into a food producer rather than food importer will depend on many things: reenergizing African soil that is highly degraded, improving the flow of resources to smallholder farmers, and finding jobs for Africa’s ballooning young population.
YPARD is the newest supporter of Farming First.
This official partnership comes as a continuity of an ongoing collaboration. Since last May, Farming First and YPARD implemented a monthly youth blog series to invite Young professionals' perspectives on key agricultural topics.
Many of us are quick to criticise decision makers about the choices they make related to river basin development. This stems from the fact that only a select few are able to participate in high level decision making processes. Enter the Basin Challenge Game which was designed to provide a platform that allows anyone to experience what river basin development truly means.
The game, which can be played with one player or in two-player mode with teams, gives participants a three billion dollar budget to develop a river basin over a period of 50 years. There are many choices available to players including: the building of hydropower dams, the development of agriculture and livestock such as vegetables or beef and the protection of national parks. As players progress through their turns, they instantly visualise the long and short term benefits and costs of their decisions across the spheres of water, energy, food, population growth, tourism and environmental development.
