“Agriculture is a critical driver of Africa’s economic growth. But we have not yet unlocked its full potential. Graduates, in this context, I challenge you to identify a problem, give it your full attention, and make it your purpose to solve it.
You will experience many setbacks. Having a vision is often the difference between giving up and persevering.” President Kagame | Rwanda Institute of Conservation Agriculture (RICA) Graduation Ceremony.
