Achieving food security is crucial for every one of us. Africa is blessed with abundant resources but we still struggle to feed the populace. This is the time for us to come together to change that narrative because the time is ticking. Our podcast host, Sharon Idahosa was joined by Shadrack Kubyane, the founder of eFama and Coronet Africa who is on a mission to improve Africa’s food security through technology. Transcription: Hello beautiful people. Indeed, that is one of my biggest pleasure, is always when I went to my own farm. So I think it is important to first understand what a healthy relationship with food is, for us to know what it is not. Not trying to be selfish. So, you could be your own farmer pretty soon, who knows? Trust, trust me when I tell you, there will always be challenges, there will always be risks. Seems like we have a lot in common. Welcome to the Let's Talk Agriculture podcast show. And of course, it's your favourite girl, Sharon Idahosa. Hey beautiful people, welcome to another episode of the Let's Talk Agriculture podcast show. Now, if you're looking for the best place to get access to quality information, then I can assure you that you are at the right place, as we invite experts to share the happenings, opportunities and a lot more, so you can benefit in any area of agriculture you're in. Now, I believe that we understand how crucial it is for us to achieve food security in Africa. And for us to say that we are really food secure, then we must really boast and say that at all times, the populace has the physical, economic and social access to enough food. Now, not just food, but it has to have that quality we are looking for, that nutritional value that we need to have in food for us to get good health and well-being. Now, it gets very tricky, you know. We want to be food secure in Africa, and even though we have the capacity to be food secure, there is still a drawback. And we cannot help but ask the question, how can we really boost our food system? Now, that is the reason why we are here today. Is technology the way forward? Let's find out. On this note, join me as I may welcome our guest for today's show, Shadrack Kubyane. Hey, a prominent, yes, of course, a prominent figure in the agricultural sector. Hello, Shadrack.

So what better way to do it, if not to team up and be families, neighbours   you know, just to ensure that we are able to transform the agricultural sector. I like that mindset. I like it. Shadrack: Definitely, you know, there's that African proverb that it says, it takes a village to raise an African child. I think it takes many villages to feed that African child. Of course, yes, yes,   Sharon: I think so too. I mean, we all have a role to play. So let's come together and start doing something. And I can see so many people coming together.
