Africa does not have an agriculture problem. At least, not in the way we usually describe it. We have farmers. We have enormous amounts of arable land. We have sunshine. We have water in many regions. We have young people who desperately need economic opportunities. We have markets that import food while local farmers struggle…
History has a way of creating moments that seem impossible until they happen. There was a time when landing on the moon sounded impossible. There was a time when carrying a powerful computer in your pocket sounded impossible. There was even a time when the idea of a private company sending reusable rockets into space…
