African country to escape poverty and hunger

[sumdumguy]

Realize the importance of controlling the food supply. Talk about stranglehold.

Scary. Control the seed. Control production(too some degree). Control the population.

I doubt it would ever come to this..."Collectively" people have way more power than they realize. Written laws will be defied when the unwritten law of the people's right to revolt supersede the written....

Unjust suppression and hunger are terrific motivators.

From what I've read, I doubt many westerners could fathom Africa.
We must be careful what we assume from above the microscope.
Jeffersonian agriculture will, with todays technology, feed a finite population.
Industrial urban employment allowed industrialized agriculture here. As well as a declining birth rate.
License to them the seeds that combat their environment. Remember that Golden Rice was donated by the researchers.
Forget "modernizing" by gifting tons of free arrogance. Or fertilizer etc.
I dont believe that progress can be given.
Perhaps first it must be defined by enough resident population to become a force of desire.
Assisting that force wisely could be the enigma of this century. Its greatest accomplishment?
Whatever it looks like it must be their vision.
Hell, Europe is still struggling with tribalism.
