The continent of Africa is a continent of great hope but with also a lot of despair surrounding its clouds. It is a continent where early science made revealing discoveries yet it is a continent where modern science and technology is yet to impact in any meaningful sense on the citizenry. It is also a continent where even though there is the most arable land for cultivation, land as fertile as the 'Fertile Crescent' and as promising as the lands between the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates, yet feeding 70% of Africa's ever-growing population is an issue. In the colonial era, Africa exported food and imported manufactures from Europe. Yet in the post -colonial era, Africa imports both food and manufactures.

This is largely due to the inability to go beyond subsistence agriculture. The world over, except Africa, the buzzword is mechanized farming. Until Africa's agriculture becomes fully mechanized in all its ramifications, food will continue to a major problem on that continent. It is good to give Africa fish, but it is a lot better to show Africa how to fish, so that Africans can continue to cultivate fish on a sustainable basis and feed its population. The insecurity of food in Africa is as threatening as the weapons of mass destruction in the hands of an unpredictable leader.

There is the urgent need, therefore, for Africa to rise up to the occasion of its food requirements, more so in the wake of globalisation with its threatening marginalization of Africa. Globalisation has brought in its wake several challenges to the continent of Africa, one of which, definitely, is not only to be able to feed its populations, but also, export food on a competitive basis, to other parts of the world including Europe and America to earn foreign exchange for other developmental needs.

It is in this connection that initiatives like the one provided by Ultimate Green Solution should be found handy. The Ultimate Green Solution is determined to assist interested countries of Africa with access to the know-how in advanced agricultural technology from cultivation through extension services, storage, animal breeding including artificial insemination, fishing and honey bee production, to bumper harvesting. The Ultimate Green Solution, therefore, in partnership with the Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture, and the Department of Food Sciences and Food Technology of the Corvinus University, also in Budapest, Hungary; the heart of Europe - a member of the European Union, is offering its services to all and sundry, towards contributing to solutions to Africa's agriculture in the area of training and re-training in the state-of-the-art knowledge. Engaging the services of Ultimate Green Solution is also the beginning of making agriculture-friendly policies to the benefit of the population. All are therefore enjoined to take advantage of this bumper offer, costing next to nothing, but with a promise of enduring sustainable development in agriculture, which hopefully can extend into agro-allied areas, in the service of Africa's population. Let there be food for all!
