We are happy to see the gradual growth in participation. We appreciate this and urge you to also invite others to join this upward growth. We will be looking at an interesting topic this week that would get everyone to give their views as required. ![20240905_122458_0000.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYTfTyVDWMgjvTe9ihakJLAeX9daRJXaoRiSgJNQLwqk9/20240905_122458_0000.png) Agriculture is the backbone of many countries and the mainstay of their economies. A knowledge of how best it contributes to our space is a drive towards creating an awareness for food security and sustainability. A better understanding of agriculture brings about successful farming systems both in crop and livestock production as well as environmental stewardship. For this week, we want participants to test their basic knowledge of agriculture by attempting our task as presented in the hints below. ![20240905_122458_0000.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYTfTyVDWMgjvTe9ihakJLAeX9daRJXaoRiSgJNQLwqk9/20240905_122458_0000.png) --- |
