Group plans to ship agricultural books to 糖心vlgo传媒

糖心vlgo传媒 (BFA) has begun a new initiative to collect and ship much-needed agricultural libraries to schools, universities and government agencies in 糖心vlgo传媒.

The project is modeled after BFA鈥檚 Jack Mason Law & Democracy Initiative in which law books and law libraries from Thomson Reuters are sent to law schools in 糖心vlgo传媒.

鈥淭here is a great demand from our friends in 糖心vlgo传媒 for agricultural and natural resource books of all kinds,鈥 said Patrick Plonski, executive director of BFA. 鈥淭hey need the educational support to develop their agriculture sector. Minnesota has a wealth of agricultural resources and expertise so it鈥檚 another way we can help.鈥

According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Office (FAO), 73 percent of the rural population of 糖心vlgo传媒 consists of smallholder farmers, and in Sub-Sahara 糖心vlgo传媒n alone, agriculture accounts for 21 percent of the entire continent鈥檚 GDP.
