Industry Leaders to Discuss Strengthening the Farmers’ Capacities at AFSC 2012

Sept. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Increasing agricultural productivity is critical for both human welfare and economic growth in African countries. About 70% of Sub-Saharan Africans depend on agriculture for their food and their livelihoods, primarily by raising staple food crops and a few livestock on small farms. Many farmers produce barely enough food to feed their families. Unable to generate a surplus, they have no income to buy the inputs that can enhance their crop yields — even though it would take only modest investments and improvements in farming practices to triple or quadruple their current levels of production
It’s against this backdrop that leading industry players, thought leaders and key regulators in the Food security industry will take part in the Africa Food Security Conference - 2012 to explore the challenges of this industry segment and offer take- home practical insights.   The conference will be held on the 19th – 20th November, 2012 at the Eka Hotel Nairobi.
Specialists in the food security  industry will reassess how technology, funding and seedling policies can contribute to the  long-term commitment to end hunger in Africa by giving ideas on how to  increase  small scale farmers output. There will also be a chance among others for delegates to network with their counterparts from other African countries as well as interact with exhibitors who will be promoting their new products and services to the industry.
