On the one hand, we have drylands. They constitute 60% of the surface of the African continent, and while some might think they do not have much agricultural potential, they can actually sustain thriving agricultural practices, including – but not limited to – agroforestry systems.

On the other hand, we have youth. Young people are dynamic and innovative; have a high uptake of technological know-how; and are passionate, perseverant, and most of all, courageous.

During this Youth Daily Show, we want to explore the opportunities that agroforestry can bring to Africa’s drylands – not only as a sustainable food system, but also as an opportunity for youth employment and the achievement of food security for present and future generations. We will hear from amazing young professionals from across the African continent, who will share their experience with, and innovations for, dryland agroforestry.

Deanne part 2 Abéné.Deanne shows how quickly crops grow.
The ecological advantages are abundant and proven. One of the best systems to have a fine return on investment. An ecological way to grow food doesn't have to be costly. Permaculture offers you to be independent and self-relying.
Deanne didn't start with permaculture out of ideology but out of necessity to provide food for herself and for the people around her. Permaculture offered her the means for sustainable living as well as an economic way of saving money.

Théophile Obenga, linguiste et historien congolais, s’adresse aux africains dans cette thématique complexe de la domination des « races ».
« Qui a peur de la fin de la domination blanche ? », une question sensible explorée par les meilleurs experts autour de Marie-Roger Biloa dans cette édition n°03 de « Africa International ».
Spécialiste de l’Égypte ancienne, disciple de son illustre collègue sénégalais Cheikh Anta Diop, Obenga est l’un des premiers chercheurs africains à déchiffrer couramment les hiéroglyphes et à maîtriser le copte, dérivé de la langue des Pharaons.
Il a mis en évidence la parenté avec plusieurs familles de langues africaines.
Le Professeur Obenga, désormais installé à Brazzaville, a enseigné les civilisations africaines à San Francisco et dirigé le Centre international des civilisations bantu, le CICIBA, à Libreville.
