Good morning, you think so? Each region of Africa has its unique complexities. Why do you think the Latin American experience is similar?
Because I have seen the parallels, worked and lived there. We learn by sorting out the similarities and differences based on reality
If you have an article on your observations & your analysis could you please share it, so that one can better understand your perspective?
Tonnes of material so we need to be specific. It's the reason Brazil has a branch of its agricultural research agency in Ghana

How much presence do we have in their region? The little we know is mediated through Europe.
Prof thank you for your responses, do you have any reading recommendations which will help me better understand your perspective.
