CAREER TALK

Multidisciplinary Agriculture:  This aims at approaching agriculture from different perspectives. The mindset that food production is the duty of farmers alone and only from the bush conducted in drudgery needs a paradigm shift. The younger generation need to know that agricultural development is for everyone and from all professional standpoints where the lawyer sees a niche to contribute as well as other professionals too. Hunger and food insecurity is biting hard on everyone and not the farmers alone.

Therefore, exposition on how each profession outside agriculture can contribute to developing agriculture, agribusiness and agro-products for local and international markets is highly imperative and timely. This talk is expected to stir interest and quest in the participants to take up agriculture as a profession, pet project or develop strategies using other professional knowledge and skills to solve agric. development problems.
