Leonard Nduati Kariuki (pictured below) of Kenya, president of the International Federation of Agricultural Producers’ African farmers’ committee, is warning of a “new technological colonialism.” It’s a reference to developing countries’ ugly practice of creating shortsighted aid programs, and the alleged lack of consultation over research and technology. I’m writing about the issue in this week’s Urban Cowboy column in the Guelph Mercury, and particularly, the way Kariuki thinks the knowledge transfer or extension system has abandoned African farmers.
Lefties have brought the Euro to btcnrupakyApo,That seems to contradict the reality that conservatives have done the same – in Greece, Italy, and Spain, for example. In fact, any party just living from false promises, while well-connected through corruption, will in the long run achieve the same outcome under current Euro regulations. What’s not to like? Borrow incredibly cheap money, invest in questionable opportunities, rake in the money were it falls, and unload the bad investments to Euro bail-out funds. A win-win situation, and an attitude that does not care about people nor the future of society, nor the country or Europe.
