I am a Zimbabwean working at the interface of formal and informal agriculture markets where I see amazing innovations daily. Having grown up with cow-dung between my toes, I have practised agriculture from birth. If you ask me: Is it really possible to kill two birds with one stone? My answer is: Yes. I actually did it twice while herding cattle. This is one of the skills currently missing in the modern notion of development and agriculture extension. People are always solving and legitimizing things!
