On today's episode of the podcast, I spoke to Maxwell Danquah; Current PRO of KNUST Students' Representative Council and an Agricultural Science student.

Maxwell Danquah talks about having opportunities to channel  unused and boundless energies of our youth into productive agricultural ventures and creating an enabling environment for agribusiness to thrive for the benefit of individual households, the continent of Africa and the world at large.

He made mention of the fact that for many young people, Agriculture is not their preferred career or business option. This is widely due to the perception that Agriculture is not financially rewarding enough; it is not youth friendly enough.

He spoke about promoting sustainable agriculture and thriving agribusiness through research and technological development, effective extension and other support services to farmers, processors and traders for improved livelihood.

Maxwell stressed the need for innovations in agriculture and improved agribusiness, pointing out that the process of creating and implementing combinations of knowledge from many different sources was important to agricultural development in Africa.
