"Political Will can enhance Public Investments in #agriculture" - Lourena Arone Maxwell, Borlaug-Adesina Fellow. Please tune in: bit.ly/3kdhCp9 #FARAGA2020 #hungerfighters #bafellows

Our Borlaug-Adesina Fellow from Mozambique, Lourena Arone Maxwell believes the end goal of agriculture research should be for farmers to be able to use these technologies. #FARAGA2020 #hungerfighters #bafellows

We need to bring youth and farmers to the table because research shared will generate knowledge and knowledge will drive innovations, innovations will then drive productivity and lastly, productivity will drive economic growth - Lourena Arone Maxwell #FARAGA2020

"Young people have enormous potential to transform agriculture in Africa however, we are saddled with a lack of access to adequate skills, finance and an enabling environment" - Dr. Lourena Arone Maxwell, Plant Pathologist & Borlaug-Adesina Fellow, at the #FARAGA2020

Research generates knowledge, knowledge drives innovation which leads to increased productivity - Lourena Arone Maxwell at #FARAGA2020 with Abdou Tenkouano

Youth have enormous potential to drive agriculture but are faced with many challenges, most of which require sustained political will and action, seeing as the continent has a youthful population capable of ensuring its food and nutrition security Lourena Arone Maxwell #FARAGA2020
