Why I think we should invest in agriculture as a nation first.

Agriculture has always been dear to me. From a tender age when I planted Tomatoes in a seedbed in our back yard, watching them sprout from the nursery that I had careful prepared. Life of a plant is an interesting thing. From a small tiny seed comes this beautiful plant. Transplanting them later, and watching them grow to maturity.

I had forgotten how good that feeling was, I had always had it in me, and I enjoyed bringing new life to this world, plants. We as a nation need to secure food first in order to be able to move forward as a country, until a man’s basic need is fully satisfied, he is bound to poverty, having to work for food. Hence the call to invest in Agriculture, until a man doesn’t have to worry about feeding his family a man’s true potential cannot be seen.

We need to break free of this chains poverty, the chains of thinking we can’t produce enough, the chains of seeking aid from the west. Yes our country can produce more than enough, with the right technology, the right information and correct practice we should be able to feed the nation with so much ease and export the rest. Israel alone produces so much that it exports 70% of its produce, and this is a country in a semi-arid area. Why not us, why not learn from what they are doing, why not improve the practices that we use and increase the output tenfold, hundred fold.

I believe farming is the only business that you should be able to make at least 100% profit with ease and if you making not close to 100% profit, then you need to step back and learn better practices. When a man passes his basic need of food, then he can start thinking about innovations, but until that time comes we will still be bound to the chains of poverty, because most of the population are still struggling to feed themselves. It’s time we made a choice and stopped this, lets improve our agricultural practices, lets learn how to use the resources at hand, the rain, the rivers, the springs, the wells…

We have abundant natural resources, our nation shouldn’t be dealing with hunger. It’s time we broke free of the chains of hunger and moved forward. It is time we produced enough to feed the nation and others countries too…

The time has come for us to realize, this is not a farfetched dream, but a milestone that is closer than we imagine, yes we can.

We need to free out minds and realize we can do this. We need to break the chains of dependency.
