Software engineering isn't a great side-career if your aspiration is to do other things. It takes way too much of your time to let you do anything else.

@markessien Another kind of agriculture is livestock and fisheries, China had a fisheries gdp of $45billion as far back as 2014 (Wikipedia). African countries should pick crops that are needed by industries and find ways of producing them cheaply and quickly not this backyard farming.

@markessien I disagree with this, countries are probably just doing agriculture wrong. Look at the case of Brazil and sugarcane. They doubled down on the sector and now produce 25% of the world’s sugar and ethanol. It is a key part of their economy.
