REVIEW AFRICA
Volume 2. Issue 3. May- June 2016
Agriculture is a cornerstone of life in Africa, whether our exposure to it is merely picking up some sweet corn at the farmers market or spending long days in the field. It is work that is essential to sustaining us as a continent, and the farmer ' s dedication can be easily overlooked. It is hard, honest and often thankless work. The sun is shining through the leaving clouds; and this time of the year is especially special since we are in the releasing our July / August issue. In our issue we look at Pioneer is growing its hybrid corn seed scheme further into Africa. We also tackle how livestock production can be a key to communal agricultural activity and a sustainable source of rural livelihood if smallholder farmers focus on improving the health and management of their animals. Solar water pumps are a cost-effective and dependable method for providing water in situations where water resources are spread over long distances; power lines are few or non-existent; or fuel and maintenance costs are considerable. Futurepump Ltd solve this problem by selling robust, portable, solar pumps to those farmers in need. Technology in the agricultural industry is also gaining momentum and we look at the digital technology that allows the newly wealthy in the country ' s rapidly expanding cities to invest in cattle. Precision agriculture— the future— has arrived and is here to stay. These high-tech solutions will improve crop yields, giving you as a grain handler more products to store and manage, and to buy, sell and trade Through economic and technical co-operation agreements signed between Zimbabwe and China in December 2015, Zimbabwe will soon receive around US $ 6 billion for its national housing delivery and agriculture programmes from China. The food web, food trucks, organics and genetics, big agriculture, small farms. Food is everywhere. It pervades every aspect of our lives. More than ever before, Farmers Review Africa is presenting a diversity of perspectives to help us all see food in new ways. And to make utterly clear how embedded food is in the fate of this planet we all love
