'Is there hope for #agriculture? Yes have hope - in #innovation. And we need to realise the potential of the #youth & train them to bring out their technical talents.'

Thats a wrap on our #AfricanStories event & what inspiring messages to end on. Thank you for joining us!

'A shout out to #young #women wanting to get into higher education - I did it despite my background. We can do it and we are the ones who must make the change - others cannot do it for us' - such a powerful final statement from Eveline from Burkina Faso 🇧🇫

'My parting shot is that I believe #agriculture can create income, jobs for #youth and provide food. I believe all of us will have breakfast, lunch and dinner, so let us all embrace agriculture!' couldn't have said it better Miriam #AfricanStories

How have the researchers pivoted their work during #COVID19? Fatou has moved to online engagements with #rural #women to exchange crop information, & Austin has used PPE to work with smaller farmer groups in Malawi 😷

There is just 10 minutes left so do join us!⏲️
