Opportunities for Youth in Drone Technology with Femi Adekoya

Let’s Talk Agriculture Podcast

Whenever we search the internet, we find questions about the opportunities in the agricultural sector. Opportunities present themselves in different ways to us but sometimes we fail to see them and our growth process in life, and business move at a slow pace, making us doubt our capabilities. The agricultural sector is broad and it provides diverse opportunities for those who are willing and see it as a business. Our podcast host, Sharon Idahosa sat with Femi Adekoya, an exceptional youth who is making waves in the use of drone technology for the benefit of the agricultural sector.

So you could be your own farmer priest. Who knows. Trust. Trust me when I tell you there will always be challenges, there will always be risks. Seems like we have a lot in common.
