Now, let's get to work! Dear stakeholders, we have much to do
While many of us are JAPAing, the Indians and Chinese are coming in dozens buying our lands and putting them under proper mechanized farming to feed their processing plants.

We are here for the impact and we have proof to show for it
It is time to further on the mission to transform African agriculture with drones
In support of President

Never give up. Hope some more. Better days ahead!
Although I've not been to Rome in person, my photo is there ahead of me; sitting right on the wall of the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization
I feel inspired and grateful for this opportunity 💪

I am an agricultural professional to the core, and you can call me a 21st-century farmer; drones are an integral part of my toolbox.
I'm a proponent of smart agriculture and I do it the digital way.
Join the train, now!
#Femifarmer
Smallholder farming is NOT the future of African Agriculture.
We need to focus and promote sustainable SCALE to unlock the benefits & potentials of agriculture in Africa
Enough of this 'smallholder' mindset & trap
Again, I say with my full chest
I think it's about time I host a Tweeter Space discourse on the PRACTICALITIES of DRONE applications for AGRICULTURE operations
I've heard some bad reports about Agridrone from folks experiences through the hands of untrained drone pilots.
What do you think, my people?
I know, as long as men like us are present & active, doing & giving our best
This African agricultural sector will get it right in agriculture & food security
I celebrate every African farmer on this day
And I celebrate myself 😄

Not just about flying drone, but what to do with the drone and drone data.

We engaged various drones based on the use case. We have Multispectral sensor drones for crop monitoring & mapping

We do not need more farmers to farm our lands

We need more sustainable and inclusive technology in the hands of farmers

“I'm in my early 30s; I am an energetic youth with a degree in agriculture, I have taken to farming as my livelihood, but, I am frightened by the Looming Low-Income Life; It appears that farmers are the sacrificial lamb to feed the society & their livelihood is always in trouble"

May we never die as a smallholder farmer! Because this farming thing is "go big or go home"
Have money and enjoy farming guys. I know what I'm saying!

Are you interested in building a rewarding career in the exciting world of Agritech? Do you believe that mentorship is the missing piece of the puzzle for your professional growth?
This day in 2015 I was first elected President of the African Development Bank. 6 years later, the African Development Bank was named the Best Multilateral Financial Institution in the world, and the 4th most transparent institution in the world. We will keep making Africa proud.
Work what works!
@Preacherrapper
This is one lesson I am learning really well as a young entrepreneur in Nigeria
I do not need to wait till I have everything
I will use what I have in my hands; my skills, expertise, small team, equipment, available resources & opportunities
No smallholder farmer want to stay small!
Enough of this smallholder-poverty chain
Let's empower them to scale & remain productive. This is how to alleviate poverty and achieve food security sustainably
Let's do agriculture that we are happy for our children to inherit from us
Your fav, the Flyingfarmer fully represented in-person at the 2nd African Conference on Precision Agriculture in Kenya 🇰🇪
Blessed be God who made my smile 😃 bright like the sun 🌞

Everyone is claiming they're helping smallholder farmers. 10 years later, the small remains small, poor & dependent
But the helper is richer
