I Have Been Passionate About Agriculture.
Agriculture is one of the keys to the solution to some world-pressing problems or issues (IFAD);
It is a way to reduce poverty, food insecurity, unemployment, insecurity challenges etc.
According to Oxford Business Group, agriculture contributes nearly 25% to GDP and employs 70% of the workforce.
For instance, Nigeria's unemployment rate rises to 5%. ~NBS as published by Punch Newspapers on February 19, 2024
This percentage of unemployed people can be absorbed by the agricultural sector because of its broad range, which will lead to a reduction in insecurity by keeping everybody busy.
"Idle hands are the devil's workshop."
It means that when someone has nothing to do, they're more likely to get into trouble or use to execute an evil plan to make money.
So agriculture creates massive employment opportunities that contribute in reducing insecurity
Encourages income generation
Boost the country's economy.
I was so excited when I received an email from @IFAD- @AGRIHUB for an interview, whose aim is to invest in rural people, employing them to increase food security.
With the combination of my product management and data analytic skill knowledge and as a fresh graduate who studied agribusiness and management, I will contribute positively to agriculture by solving farmers problems associated with agriculture in my community.
