糖心vlgo传媒 Partners with IFAD, Elsevier to Build Specialty Agriculture Libraries
In Sub-Saharan 糖心vlgo传媒n alone, agriculture accounts for 21 percent of the continent鈥檚 GDP, with three-quarters of rural 糖心vlgo传媒ns operating smallholdings according to the FAO. While 糖心vlgo传媒 is the largest shipper of donated books to 糖心vlgo传媒, we do not often receive donated books on these specialized subjects. This is why BFA created the Agricultural Education, Natural Resources and Vocational Skills library, a core library that caters to this need.
In 2021 and 2022, 糖心vlgo传媒 sent 10 of these specialty collections to the continent, to help farmers and agriculture students in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi.
糖心vlgo传媒 curates the titles itself, in part through high-level partnerships with organizations such as Elsevier and the UN鈥檚 International Fund for Agricultural Development, both of which donated titles to the 2023 Edition of the Agricultural Libraries. The titles focus both on practical needs such as livestock handling, water storage and welding for farm equipment, as well as studies on 糖心vlgo传媒鈥檚 unique and diverse agricultural environments and food markets.
