Discover the fascinating journey of the young Loic who came back fro the US after his studies - like many other graduates- to do agriculture and breeding in Africa. He is part of the new agricultural entrepreneurs (agripreneurs) who upsets the prejudices and innovate in an industry where States could not bring up attractive policies. With them, agriculture is now seen as a conceivable opportunity, a risk we can plan and mitigate, a profitable business. With 65% of the world's most arable uncultivated land, Africa still imports more than US 35 billion of food yearly (ADB). That explains why the French, the Chinese, and other foreigners are running to buy or rent thousands of hectares in our land, whereas our youth keep running to die in Lybia, in Greece, and in the Mediterranean sea or borders.African farmers are in their 50s; it is more than ever necessary to have reliable proven data from the fields, for those who will want to answer the call to lunch sustainable farms to provide the necessary food the population need, thus participating in the tough mission to feed Africa today and tomorrow. There is more than an option, for we know that "hungry people have no dignity". Lo c Kamwa Silatchom is a young entrepreneur in the agribusiness with42 hectares of farm in Bafia Cameroun. His dream is to become the leading corn and broiler producer in Africa by 2050, for Africa's population will then be around 2.5 billion souls and the first need will be the food. He graduated from PKFokam Institute of Excellence in Yaound and holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from SUNY Canton State University of New York. He also lunched the vocational training center of excellence in Agriculture nicknamed Agribusiness Academy in Bafia.
