The
7th Africa Agriculture Week and FARA (Forum For Agriculture Research in Africa) General Assembly (with a theme
apply science impact lives" is grappling with a question of Africa
feeding Africa".
At home in Namibia, a small holder farmer Mrs Ugenia Shinohamba who produces millet as as part of her family's and extended family food security efforts is showing that hard work pays. She grows Miller and sorghum amongst others.
The question delegates here are asking is, how can communities and various countries mainstream science in agriculture to make an impact in the African nation's lives?

It will be interesting to ask Mrs Shinohamba to share the
innovation methods she applies to improve her harvest and subsequently her output (
product). Mrs Shinohamba is also known for her love of planting fruit trees - to supplement the meals with the much needed nutritional value from the various tree products.
