MUBARAK MUHAMMED INUWA RE - Cooperatives in Agriculture have solutions for Climate Change.Environmental degradation, is one of the consequences developed nations have as a result of rapid technological innovation.This on the other hand, has a very bad impact in Agriculture,especially Arable farming.While a land is exhauted from fertility, due to mineral exploration,this practice has an impact towards crops production for both man and animal.Asian and African countries, have the access to produce food but they lack the Technology to innovate sophisticated modern machines for large scale productions.High yielding varieties in their countries is lacking.
