Agronomist Ngobesing Emilia

I am thrilled by the success story of Mrs. Ngobesing Emilia Siri. She is an agronomist with a passion for agriculture. She returned to University after having her last child and has been rewarded with a degree in agronomy, an area many people think is reserved for men. She believes her country is doing a good thing by intensifying investment in Agriculture; that more food  needs to be produced for everybody. With more than 90% of the world going hungry, this is vital. More is being done in her country at the moment than in past years to ensure that more food is produced; but that should not be all. She holds that what is produced should be made to reach everybody. What obtains now is the little that is produced ends with the rich leaving the poor hungry and desperate. We must never forget that a hungry man is an angry man; and that a mouth that is full does not talk. Under the distinguished supervision of Dr. Oben of the University of Dschang, this determined and highly motivated lady has done research on rice cultivation in Lower Bafut and believes that the revival of rice farming in this region will not only enhance the quality of life for the local inhabitants but will be a big boost to rice production in Cameroon.
