Agricultural practices in much of West Africa are still based on the strip-style-farming techniques that have long been replaced in other parts of the world. The inefficiencies of this system of farming are evident in this image. Let us hope that in the coming years more concerted and coordinated agricultural methods will become common place, increasing our food security and self-sufficiency.
