Ken asks…
How much would it cost to educate people in Africa to grow your own food?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Lots of Africans have problems growing food. Providing education about good agricultural practices would help in a lot of areas, but telling them how to grow food is not the main obstacle to increased African food production. Here are four reasons that contribute:
1) Inadequate access to machinery, fertilizer and quality seed.
2) Lack of money to purchase capital, such as the above, and the lack of financial institutions to provide loans.
3) Unsuitable land for available food crops.
4) Subsidies paid to local farmers by entities such as the US and EU, which artificially lower world food prices, making it much less profitable for an African with relatively high costs to grow food.
As for the cost of education itself, I’d guess no more than $200 million, just off the top of my head.
Sharon asks…
Does anyone know the name of the device that allows you to grow your own food (ex. vegatables)?
I saw a commercial for it and I was wondering what the name of it was?

Aeorgarden, available from Gardener’s Supply Company in Vermont. Is that the one?
Linda asks…
The most important skills any human can have is to be able to grow your own food, carpentry, engineering etc.?
So why aren’t any of these vital skills taught in all schools? How would we all survive otherwise? Do the governments purposely remove these skill and knowledgable trades from curriculums in order to keep people stupid and their minds filled with rubbish so they are then reliant on a corrupt system of greed and unscrupulous powers?

Love your parents and freinds is the most important
