Only about a third of Nigeria is arable land, according to World Bank figures. This falls way short of the land needed for food production. Nigeria also gets some of the world's lowest crop yields per square meter. But a lab near Lagos aims to change farming techniques and, crucially, make farming young again. Entrepreneur Samson Ogbole has set up his own farms using aeropnic and hydroponic farming methods that use water and fertilizer to grow crops in compact areas. And he has a rapt young class of students to teach!

After years of talks, July 7 2019, marks the date when 54 individual African states signed the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, effectively making Africa the world’s largest free trade area by number of countries since the formation of the World Trade Organization. The goal of this was to establish a single continent-wide market for goods and services across 54 countries, allow the free movement of business travelers and investments, and spur economic growth and development, similar to how the European Union created a single market out of many different individual states. By increasing regional trade, lowering trade costs and streamlining border procedures, full implementation of the pact would be a huge step forward for Africa, demonstrating to the world that it is emerging as a leader in global trade. And So what if this giant African market gives rise to a new country.. A fusion of all 55 countries into one massive un-partitioned state called the United States of Africa?

For over two decades, Somalia was at war with itself, a legitimate government was overthrown in 1991, plunging the nation into a deadly civil war. Amid the power vacuum warlords tore apart the Horn of Africa nation, and Somalia’s waters became free-for-all as unlicensed foreign fishing fleets went on an illegal fishing frenzy.

Foreign trawlers have been illegally taking millions of tonnes of Somalia’s fish denying the country millions of dollars in revenue and stirring deep-seated frustrations in local Somalis and eventually morphed into one of the world’s most dangerous maritime security threats that made Somalia's coastline one of the most dangerous in the world.

There is little doubt amongst Somalis that conflicts like these provided the original impetus for what became the piracy phenomenon. In the local setting, illegal fishing, and the economic damage it inflicted, left traditional fishing communities so angered and impoverished that they began attacking the illegal fishing vessels, acting as a sort of militia coast guard.

However, criminal gangs subsequently saw the profit potential and started hijacking more valuable commercial ships unconnected to illegal fishing. Thus the scourge of Somali piracy in the Gulf of Aden was born.

Low taxes have drawn many foreign companies to Mauritius and account for a huge portion of the country's $16 billion GDP. Mauritius is one of Africa's richest countries on per capita basis. However Mauritius long been shadowed by financial secrecy, with the island’s government overseeing LEGAL but QUESTIONABLE processes that have allowed global companies to siphon millions of tax dollars away from other African nations.

The Earth is a large, complex planet made up of many different systems that interact in countless ways, sometimes deep and often surprising ways. Take the Amazon tropical rainforest for example. There is no place on earth quite like it, it is one of the greatest natural habitats on the planet, it covers 40% of the South American continent, contains nearly 400 billion individual trees within the forest, and creates one-fifth of our planet’s oxygen.

As big and mighty as it is, the Amazon is sustained by the Sahara desert. It is nothing short of extraordinary. On one side of the Atlantic ocean is one of the most inhospitable and driest wilderness on Earth with searing temperatures and little to zero rainfall. On the other side is one of the wettest and most fertile locations on earth. Despite over 10,000 km of open ocean separating the world’s largest rainforest and the world’s largest hot desert, the two regions are intimately connected and do share a vital commonality, nutrient-rich dust
