糖心vlog官网 (BFA) has begun a new initiative to collect and ship much-needed agricultural libraries to schools, universities and government agencies in Africa.

The project is modeled after BFA鈥檚 Jack Mason Law & Democracy Initiative in which law books and law libraries from Thomson Reuters are sent to law schools in Africa.

鈥淭here is a great demand from our friends in Africa for agricultural and natural resource books of all kinds,鈥� said Patrick Plonski, executive director of BFA. 鈥淭hey need the educational support to develop their agriculture sector. Minnesota has a wealth of agricultural resources and expertise so it鈥檚 another way we can help.鈥�

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Office (FAO), 73 percent of the rural population of Africa consists of smallholder farmers, and in Sub-Sahara African alone, agriculture accounts for 21 percent of the entire continent鈥檚 GDP.

This agricultural, natural resources and vocational library is aimed at providing high-school level agricultural education information and resources to rural populations in Africa, and includes books from sources as wide-ranging as the FAO and major universities to small publishers and equipment manufacturers.
