As a tribute to Dr. W, we have to rethink research and extension priorities (1) to make agriculture (in both food crops and export crops sectors) sustainable, (2) provide incentives to farmers to produce their own organic fertiliser.
National policies on sustainble technologies that would encompass several key institutions in agricultural research and development need priority. Universities and Schools of Agriculture in the country could instrument “brain change” to wean away the dependence syndrome.
Hopefully, the current minister of agriculture would take to heart Dr W’s view points.
