Failure to Success

How Has A Failure Of Yours Set You Up For Later Success Employers ask you questions, and they are interested in learning about your ability to learn from your mistakes, take risks, overcome challenges, and successfully recover from failures. If you find an answer that shows that you have learned important lessons along the way, you must be able to show that you have learned from those mistakes.  When you answer this question, you want to acknowledge that mistakes happen, but emphasize that if you fail, you will always learn from your mistakes and become a better employee. Nobody is perfect, and even the most successful people fail more often than they can count. Instead of striving for perfection by saying that you never make a mistake, focus on how you can turn a negative into a positive.  Talk about your failures in a way that highlights your strengths as an applicant, not just your weaknesses as an employee or candidate.  It is important to recognize that failure can b...

How AI Can Help Agricultural Extension

Big data and artificial intelligence offer a new way to solve the question of how to feed a growing population. In the past, countries "agricultural authorities had little control over where grain is grown, how much yield is expected, or when to plan for their land. FTI funds technology-based research and analysis to promote agricultural resilience and food security in Rwanda.  Artificial intelligence improves plant management practices by helping many technology companies invest in algorithms that are becoming increasingly useful in agriculture. AI solutions have the potential to solve many of the challenges faced by farmers, such as pest and weed infestation, which reduces yields. By building on emerging technologies, we can make new choices - and create tools that can be applied in Ghana. When I think about the future of agriculture, I cannot help thinking about the potential of artificial intelligence to solve the sector's problems. AI technology can solve problems by...

Farmer Extension Ratio In Ghana

Government extension services are able to support more than two million farmers. Private extensions are usually cultivated - specific and do not cover the range of crops grown. Given this, the average annual renewal rate for private farmers in Ghana is between 1.5% and 2.0%, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.  Very little research has been done on farmers who receive services from these extension agents. Research on renewal benefits for private farmers in Ghana is sparse as their renewal rates are not often evaluated and very little information is available.  Participatory approaches to training and empowering farmers, involving discovery, learning, experimentation, and group action, have been found in many countries at a cost of between $20 and $40 per participant. In the case of Malawi in the early 1980 "s, direct placement services for farmers cost between $20 and $40 per farmer per year for a total of $1,000 per month. Empirical results of these stu...

How Blockchain Can Change Agriculture

Blockchain technology may be promising in agriculture and supply management, but we have an opportunity to explore its potential implementation and assess its challenges. Smart contracts can trigger and implement specific measures based on the data stored in the blockchain, thereby improving the quality of agricultural processes and crops produced. By using blockchain technology to monitor and predict such changes, they can go a long way toward improving crop survival, maintaining prices, and even saving jobs. To assess whether there are challenges in the industry, we had to ask: Is blockchain really the best way?  Smart contracts can trigger and implement specific measures based on the data stored in the blockchain, thereby improving the quality of agricultural processes and crops produced. Linking agricultural shipping and process monitoring to a common, decentralized blockchain register can add value to agricultural products, as recipients can trace machinery, plants, and ...
