(Guardian-Nigeria) Anthony Kila - The Israeli experience shows us that with goodwill to plan and learn, anyone anywhere can achieve beyond what nature has given it. Israel is one land that is blessed with little in terms of natural resources. Circled by unfriendly neighbors, Israelis knew from the onset that they had to look inward. Today, Israel is one of the top five countries in the world that has enough food for its own people and leads the rest of the world in the development of cutting-edge solutions for high yielding farming. It is also sending out professionals, companies, and government envoys to help nations discover products, ideas, and innovations that will help them make better use of their resources to feed their hungry people. Israel has done all this while simultaneously dealing with issues of security, constant attacks, ideological opposition, and racial bias against it.
