Crop Farmers Business League
The coveted Soccer World Cup will soon kick off in South Africa. Spectators and soccer fans always watch out for the league their teams play in and make predictions on possible performance.
What would crop farming in Africa look like if farmers made a conscious and
informed decision on which type of 'league' they wanted to join? Major
farming systems in Africa point at farmers who unconsciously play in soccer
like farming leagues.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has a comprehensive
classification of major farming systems in Sub Sahara Africa can serve as a strategic tool to both the farmer and farm input business. The farmer might be interested in determining which 'league' they would wish to 'play in.' According to the FAO map, African farmers are missing in action from the business league.
