Higher Education Networks relevant to Agriculture in Africa
21 September 2007
Author: Kay Muir-Leresche

There is growing recognition by Africans and by development agencies that they urgently need to address higher education issues if countries are to develop. There will be no development in Africa without effective leaders who are committed to adapt modern technologies to reality in Africa, to generate new, environmentally and small farmer-friendly technologies and to develop the social and political systems that can adapt to modernity without losing their essential values. The new generation of graduates must be able to work with farmers to produce sustainable solutions and implement changes. The role of effective leadership and capacity to address constraints and implement workable solutions is essential to the growth of African agriculture and to rural development.
