Hello. I am Wangari Kuria , the Founder and CEO of Farmer on Fire Ltd. Farmer On fire is an organization based in Nairobi, Kenya that provides access to information for farmers across Africa. It also links established agribusinesses like AGRA, John Deere, Heifer International and Min of Agriculture to over 50,000 small scale farmers through digital channels. I am passionate about the vulnerable pastoralists communities that are affected by climate change and I incubate them in my model farms where I commercially produce mushrooms and start their farming businesses. Welcome to my lecture!

In this lecture, I will help you understand how you can implement technology to create value and meet the high demand for agri-products across the world. Did you know that Agribusiness is among the most vital sectors of the global economy? Yes, it is and it is incredibly diverse. It is associated with numerous activities such as farming, livestock breeding, aquaculture, agro-processing, food production and marketing. However, we majorly focus on farming which limits our capacity to grow economically. Therefore, I will help you understand how you can engage in other agricultural activities, add value, develop a career and earn an income. Future billionaires will be agribusiness people. I think it's time to validate this statement as young people in Africa. With technological incorporation, we can achieve this. Join me in this lecture as I change the narrative of agriculture and its role in the development of the African continent.

A notebook and an open mind is all you need for this online experience. Come in with your questions, doubts and fears on agribusiness and we shall look at them.
