Gee how come is it that the Africans have to depend on Oxen to draw plows in the year 2012 and these folks are talking about "adaption" to climate change but I see a picture of 5000 year old technology? What on earth kind of nonsense is that? I mean why is it they constantly make up nonsense instead of addressing the fact that when it comes to Africans feeding themselves they have to rely on the same practices they have been using for thousands of years with no benefit of modern technology like roads, pipes, irrigation canals (which isnt really modern), electricity, tractors, refrigeration and so forth. Yet these people constantly harp on how they are "fixing" African agriculture without really "fixing" anything. How can they if Africans are still stuck with the same techniques they have been using all along?
That is exactly why I call these nonsense agendas and proposals put forward by foreigners as gimmicks because they are absolutely not doing anything to address the core issues, which is why every year it is always the same story: Africans are food insecure. But every year, after all their big pronouncements the only thing that changes is more of the best farmland winds up in the hands of foreigners for export crops and the Africans are still left doing things the way they have been doing all along.
