The African Development Bank appoints Atsuko Toda, a Japanese citizen, as its new acting vice president, to be in charge of the critical department of agriculture, human and social development. She's been at the bank since 2016 and has been responsible for it's investments in agri-business companies and its development of special agro-industrial processing zones. So now that she's moved up the ladder, what will she bring to her new role, in a continent that's desperate for agricultural innovation across the entire value chain?

Great doctor, better farmer! It would take a family tragedy to launch this young doctor’s impressive farming career. Following his elder brother Rotham’s tragic passing in a car accident, Obakeng Mfikwe found himself increasingly having to take off time from his medical practice in Fourways in Johannesburg to help his ageing dad with the family’s communal cattle farming at Beestekraal, close to Jericho in North West. And the more he farmed, the more he found himself enjoying it. When he finally took the plunge and bought his first few cows, he knew he was well and truly hooked. So he closed his medical practice and started farming full-time, and within just a few years, achieved some great successes. His Simmentaler and Simbra cattle studs have already won several awards, and he also plants more than a 1000 ha of maize, sunflower and fodder crops on several farms in the North West and Magaliesberg.

On yearly basis, Nigeria graduates undergo the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program. The service year provides time for young people to develop and establish common ties, fostering national unity in this way.

Important for every youth, this is a time in which career choices are made, job experience in specific disciplines is obtained, and the spirit of self-reliance is acquired by developing work skills. With expanded prospects for self-employment in agriculture, its portrayal as an outdated, unprofitable, and backbreaking occupation by many educated young people limits its potential as a career choice and occupational preference.

This perception is inaccurate, with very few youths being exposed to knowledge on agricultural production and processing techniques and know-how of obtaining financial, land, business, and market information. Hence, it is important to provide youth that are in the NYSC program with opportunities to learn more about agriculture or agribusiness and appreciate how it can be a lucrative career and business development opportunity that could drive development in Nigeria.


Youth corps members serving in IITA have been inspired into helping transform the Nigerian economy through the development of African agriculture but many are neither equipped nor exposed to skills needed to be able to contribute to national food security. Some youth, with no agricultural background, are inspired by theresearch prowess of IITA to nourish Africa’s agriculture and are eager to learn and integrate new skills that would help enhance agricultural development and agribusiness. Hence, the NYSC members are proposing symposium that would help youth corps members be engaged more in transformative agricultural development.

This can inspire youth corps members grow into successful agricultural leaders who can continue to lead local, state, and national
communities. Owing to a technologically savvy generation, digital tools used in agribusiness that will help reduce the cost of business transactions and improve the profitability of agriculture will also be emphasized to make the agricultural value chain more interesting to potential agripreneurs.

Fertile land is scarce in Egypt. All of life depends on water from the Nile River. 85 million Eyptians are settled along its banks. The rest of the country is desert. Egyptian and German scientists have now found a way of cultivating forests in the desert sand.

It looks like a fata morgana. But the forests in the Egyptian desert are real. They're watered with processed sewage. 24 such forests have sprung up across the country over the past eight years. The sewage is rich in nutrients and fuels the growth of plants like mahagony, eucalyptus and sisal.
