@BrianneKNadeau @DCDPR Bruce Monroe Park needs to be addressed. It’s covered in trash and all the trash cans are overflowing.

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

@BrianneKNadeau @DCDPR have you been near Bruce Monroe recently? Every single one of the garbage cans is overflowing, swings are broken and the shaded area is surrounded by trash. It’s disgusting.

.@Aloysiusordu - unless we improve infrastructure, it will be very difficult to get youth involved in #AfricanAg

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

.@Aloysiusordu - the more we can make infrastructure accessible (e.g., internet) the more we can empower young people to use technology in #AfricanAg

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

.@AmandlaOO calls for mainstreaming gender into all interventions e.g., we need to increase security to protect women farmers looking to trade their goods, especially across borders. #AfricanAg

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

.@AmandlaOO - the average age of African farmers is 60 - the average age of Africans is 19. #AfricanAg

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

.@HUCenterAfrica asks @AmandlaOO about the role of women in #AfricanAg - notably: less than 10% of women farmers own the land they work on.

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

.@Aloysiusordu of @BrookingsGlobal: periurban #AfricanAg saved lives during #COVID19 lockdowns in Africa - we need to be talking more about that opportunity. #AfricaAg

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

.@Aloysiusordu: the key to boosting #AfricanAg? "infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure"

.@Aloysiusordu - we're talking about what the intl community can do to boost #AfricanAg here today - but we need to talk about what we can do as Africans to increase #AfricaAg

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

.@Aloysiusordu of @BrookingsGlobal: here is the paradox of #AfricanAg - the region imported $43 billion worth of food in 2019 though some of the world's most arable land is on the continent #AfricaAg

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

@ErmiasKebreab argues that the intl community can support #AfricanAg by increasing access to inputs #africaag https://t.co/RxUPpwxNC4

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

Post-harvest losses and lack of markets are other detriments to the growth of #AfricanAg beyond production challenges says @AmandlaOO #AfricaAg

[Christina Golubski @CMGolubski]

@AmandlaOO - in some places in Africa its cheaper to get milk from New Zealand than from a neighboring country. The #AfCFTA should help change that. #AfricaAg #AfricanAg Watch more here: https://t.co/RxUPpwxNC4
