The country has long discussed economic diversification, and in September 2016, the president took a significant step by announcing plans for a “green revolution” in parliament. Following this direction, the 2017 budget for agriculture saw a boost of over 158%. For us, diversification means not only shifting the economy from mining to agriculture but transforming the agriculture sector entirely. Currently, 70% of Zambia's workforce is engaged in agricultural activities, yet it only contributes 9% to the GDP. My goal is to increase this to 20% within the next few years by prioritizing investment in research and extension services.
