Mnangagwa, a prosperous and empowered upper middle income society by 2030, with job opportunities and a high quality of life for its citizens requires that we leave no one and no place behind. Agriculture is at the core of food security, economic development, rural development and rural transformation. Zimbabwe Online Agricultural College was established to increase the reach of Agricultural Education for Development (AE4D5.0) to those who need it the most (farmers). It capitalises on ICT to ensure that farmers can learn from anywhere at their convenience. AE4D5.0 is anchored on learning by demonstration, enquiry and practice as opposed to instruction. Farmers are therefore called upon to capitalise on this new institution as we Go for Growth (G4G) in agriculture. Read more
