This is a really great initiative by one of our Kenyan youth who is working to build a small polytechnic that will double up as a library for secondary school kids n mostly guys who make it out of high school n can't get into universities or colleges for one reason or another.

2015 is an important year for the future of agriculture and development.
A new set of global Sustainable Development Goals, or “SDGs”, will shape the next 15 years of policies, programmes and funding.

Investing in the agricultural sector can address not only hunger and malnutrition but also other challenges including poverty; water and energy use; climate change; and unsustainable production and consumption.

Together, we must mobilise scientific, technological and social movements to address these challenges together.
