Week 1: Introduction to agriculture and climate change discussion

This is Emmanuel Asamoah from Ghana (Eastern Region) and I work with Radio1 as the Programs Manager.

Climate Change and discussions on our environment are more of nature related and all matters related to nature sounds fictional and hard for people to believe and accept. I will therefore like to learn more on how to decode conversation on Climate Change to my presenters, producers and the audience of my station.
Thank you for this conversation.

The month long dedication of learning on areas of climate Change should provide a lasting opportunity for me to understand what climate change is and how it affects individual and groups and practical ways of reducing its effects on the environment.

My name is Christian Maduka. I am a Nigerian and the current Networking Officer for FRI in Nigeria. I an super excited to be here. I look forward to a very fruitful and rich sharing of knowledge and experiences with great number of Broadcasters across Africa. As communications experts, Broadcasters can only successfully communicate, broadcast or share what they know and understand, and Climate Change and Agriculture are part of it. My hope is that we as Broadcasters can subsequently communicate Climate Change with our listeners and Farm Radio audiences better after this discussion.
