Rural & Urban Agriculture Innovative Production Program (RUAIPP).

Written by Elfas Mcloud Zadzagomo (Hunter) The Agricultural Revolution refers to a significant period of time beginning around 10,000 years ago when humans transitioned from hunting and gathering to cultivating crops and keeping domesticated animals. This shift marked the beginning of agricultural development and had a huge impact on human society, allowing for population growth and the formation of sedentary settlements. Fast forward to the 21st century, and the world is experiencing an era of agricultural growth in Africa, which has the potential to greatly impact global economies. With an abundance of natural resources and favourable climate conditions, Africa has the potential to become a breadbasket for the world and a significant contributor to global agricultural production. The effects of this agricultural growth in Africa on the global economies could be numerous. An increase in agricultural output would lead to an increase in food supply, which could help alleviate hunger and...

 Written by Elfas Mcloud Zadzagomo (Hunter) Food production accounts for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions, making it a major contributor to climate change. The agricultural sector is responsible for approximately 13.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The following are some ways in which food production impacts the environment: Land Use Change As the global population grows, there is increasing pressure on arable land to produce crops. This can result in deforestation, erosion, and degradation of natural habitats. Such changes impact biodiversity, affecting the ecosystem's stability and resilience. One assessment estimated that direct and indirect land-use changes triggered by agriculture have produced about 30% of global emissions of carbon dioxide. Livestock Practices Livestock farming contributes to climate change by producing methane gas, which has a greater warming impact than carbon dioxide. The production and transportation of feed, as well as the use of...
