Experts: Key to feeding Africa is better farmsContinent’s farms one-fourth as productive as their global counterparts

Could you believe the headlines of this article? I could not believe it! and I am not an expert in hydroponics or aquaponics ..yet!

In a few minutes I am going to gives you the link for this article and please. Feel free to leave feedback:

In a few words here is what are saying the experts to fix the hunger in Africa and in particular in Ethiopia! Ready!

  • more tractors
  • more fertilizers
  • hybrid seed

in a land that has been 85% destroyed by erosion and misused pesticides. The average size of parcel in Ethiopia is just 2 acres.

Hydroponcis! No idea! Aquaponics….what is that! This is a shame that experts are not seeing hydroponics and aquaponics as one of the main solution as as weapons against hunger!

Where are we heading?
