Thank you Mr Gassama for sharing this information with us. I would also like
to thank all the partners involved in making this possible. I say Bravo!

Your presentation deals partly with the same issues as the article I sent.
It is true that without the proper infrastructure in place it is almost
impossible to incorporate the farmers needs. Whether the infrastructure is
completed or not the question is, where do we go from there?

You are right though, I was trying to provoke a professional discussion
among our very best. I would like to see a discussion that will go beyond
our political affiliations in this matter, concentraditing more on what is
possible and what is not. This is my hope, what others make of the article I
sent is something I have no control over.

One thing I think we all have in common, is the love we all have for our
very best farmers. Even though we might have different whys in sawing it.
Been part of this farming community, I would like to know how this new
technology can make my work easier?

If I can put it this way; Is it possible to have information from the
internet, computer or mobile phones without being able to read or write?

I thank you all in advance

Modou
