“I just returned from 8 days in Niamey, Niger working with the Farmers of the Future (FOF) project. John captured in his blog key highlights of the progress and momentum. So rather than repeat that, I’ll share my reaction – as a first-timer on the ground with this complex effort that is 4 years in.
My reaction? In a word, overwhelmed. The changes being made in people’s lives are incredible, and the commitment of the team is impressive. They are masters at accomplishing a lot with limited resources. So much good is being done with so little – just imagine what could be done with more!”
