Knowledge transfer and practical learning/training model (s) in Africa
In Africa, agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) accounts for more than 20 percent of the total GDP. The farmers’ income is mainly from the farming industry, and it accounts for more than 80 percent of total household income. However, despite Africa’s plentiful agricultural resources, the continent still faces serious food security issues. In many African countries, government and infrastructure tend to be weak and poor. Many rural communities also do not have access to electricity (internet, landlines, etc.), making knowledge transfer difficult when using digital resources.
