Reblogged this on Read Spread Know and commented:
We are young, and we are going to change the world. Watch us!
So one of our approaches is: If we mobilize young agricultural professionals, through social media, they will enthuse their brothers and sisters. And maybe, just maybe, we will then turn agriculture a “young” rather than an “aging” profession.

Comment on The case for the new extensionist by Vic Ih Tagupa

Vic Ih Tagupa — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:35:58 +0000

The New Extenionists shall seriously take into account the new roles of family farms as inside out sources of Ecofunctional information in sustainable agriculture systems with inherent resilience to challenges in markets, sustainable appropriate techniques and climate change among others.The major challenge is to reach out the poor family farms which are often neglected by the waves of sustainable development interventions relative to the MGDs. It would be good for GFRAS to have a platform in engaging the ODA’s as mechanisms of strategic partnerships with donor countries for effective impacts in poor farming communities . In this process, GFRAS would become relevant to the livelihood of dominant poor family farms in Third World Countries.

Comment on Building pathways to nutrition by Philip Hollington

Philip Hollington — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 09:59:19 +0000

Nutrition is crucial, but the problem is that there is very little evidence so far of the impact of agricultural interventions on it! This has to change, and agricultural researchers like me need to work much more closely with nutritionists in thefuture.
