Dear Gadiola,
I'm D'banj and today the Koko Master has become the Koko Farmer.
I've just returned from Ghana where I was lucky to meet an amazing cocoa farmer called Adam Yakubu. Spending time with him I learnt that farming is not only the foundation of our economy, but it’s also cool. This is where our food comes from. This is real.
But here's the problem. Smallholder farmers like Adam are the people that feed us, but too often they struggle to feed themselves. They've been ignored by our leaders for too long.
We can change this if we DO AGRIC. Join me and sign ONE's petition right now. One click will add your name:

Dear African leaders,
We can grow millions of jobs, feed Africa and create a better future if you keep your promises to invest in agriculture and support smallholder farmers.
In 2003, our leaders pledged to invest more in agriculture - 8 of them did, but 46 have not kept their promises. 2014 is the African Union Year of Agriculture, so let's come together and tell them to act.
We need to wake our governments up to the fact that if they DO AGRIC, Africa doesn’t just have the potential to feed itself, it has the potential to help feed the world.
Sign the petition now at:

It's time to DO AGRIC and transform lives.
