The American Landrace is a medium to large breed of domestic pig, white in color, with long bodies, fine hair, long snouts, and heavy, drooping earsand they are bred for pork production .
The American Landrace derives from the Danish Landrace of 1895 Danish origin.
Country of origin: Denmark.
Landrace, which are noted for their ability to farrow and raise large litters, are the fifth most recorded breed of swine in the United States. The American Landrace descended from the Danish Landrace that originated in 1895 after that infusion, the Landrace was developed and improved by selection and testing.
Some of the characteristics of a Landrace pigs include:
Breed characteristics
Landrace have white skin and are free from black hair. They are a lop-eared pig with a long middle, light forequarters, and excellent ham development. The major faults with the original Landrace were leg weakness, splay legs and nervous disorders such as porcine stress syndrome (pss).
Breeds of pigs - Landrace - NSW Department of Primary Industries.
Landrace: white, large drooping ears, long body, good mothers. One of the newest breeds of a Danish origin. They are noted for having the highest number of pigs per litter, average live weight of matured male is 310 – 400 kg and female is 250 – 330 kg.

Where did the Landrace pig originate?
The various strains of Landrace swine are the descendants of the famous Danish Landrace hogs that were developed in Denmark. The development of the breed began in about 1895. It resulted from crossing the Large White hog from England with the native swine.

The landrace is one of the best breed of pig for meat though meat specific breed, include;Hampshire, Duroc and/or Berkshire. First off, let's get to the bottom line here-all pigs have meat as their ultimate purpose. Any pig breed of nearly any age can be, and probably is somewhere, used for meat.
Some of the characterists of a Landrace pig lnclude :
The American Landrace is a long, lean, white pig with 16 or 17 ribs. The head is long and narrow and the ears large and heavy and hang forwards close to the snout. The back is only slightly arched or is nearly flat.
Pregnancy lasts for 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days. A well fed sow will produce at least 10 piglets (litter) from each pregnancy and may have 2 litters each year.

Generally landrace is one of the breeds known for fast and efficient growth ,reproductive efficiency ,cleanliness and meat flavour this is because it is a very versatile breed which performs better in both indoors or outdoor systems of management

Jack Fruit is well- suited to tropical lowlands & is widely cultivated throughout tropical regions of the world. It bears the largest fruit of all trees, reaching as much as 55kg in weight, 90cm in length & 50cm in diameter.

A mature Jack Fruit tree produces some 200 fruits per year, with older trees bearing upto 500 fruits in a year.

The large & various fruit have a length of 30 to 100 centimeters & a diameter of 15 to 50 centimeters & can weigh 10 - 25 kgs.There may be 100 - 500 seeds per fruit.

An average fruit consists of 27% edible seed coat, 15% edible seeds, 20% white pulp (underdeveloped parianth rags) & bark & 10% core.
It matures during the rainy season from July to August

Nutritive Values per 100g of Jack Fruit are; carbohydrates 23.25g, Energy 95kcal, Sugars 19.08g, Dietary Fibres 1.5g, Fat 0.64g, Protein 1.72g, Vitamin B Complex & Vit. C, minerals ( Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Manganese, Iron, Sodium & Zinc)

Cardinal Functions of Jack Fruit to humans;
1. It's an antixidant.
2. Improves skin health.
3. Maintaining a health thyroid gland.
4. Has anticancer properties.
5. Improves skin health.
6. Improves Digestion
7. Strengthen the bones.
8. Control cardiovascular diseases (Heart diseases).
9. It's has anti - aging properties, etc.

Value added products from Jack Fruit include;. Jack fruit wine, Jack fruit juice, Jack fruit bulbs, Jack fruit leather, Jack fruit jam & jelly, Jack fruit pickles, Jack fruit chips, Jack fruit candy & fruit bar etc.

Jack fruit is a partial solution to food security in most developing countries like East African Nations and a very good feed supplement to Ruminants most especially the dairy cows i.e. when a dairy cow is fed Jack fruit it increases it's milk production by not less than 48.6%. Hence Jack Fruit trees on the farm can provide food to humans & cattle, shade for the cows, fire wood & income.

So one of the Ventures to emphasize on mostly post Covid-19 Pandemic is Jack fruit plantation due to its enormous functions because it's market is overwhelmingly available.

Demographs (Population Aging)

Population aging is the dominant demographic trend of the 21st Century - a reflection of increasing longevity, declining fertility & the progression of large cohorts to older ages.

Never before have such large numbers of people reached 65+ ( the conventional old age threshold). We expect to add 1 billion older individuals in the next 3 to 4 decades, atop the more than 700 million older people we have today.

Among the older population, the group aged 85+ is growing especially fast & is projected to surpass half a billion in the next 80 yrs. This trend is significant because the needs and capacities of the 85+ crowd tend to differ significantly from those of 65 - to - 84 yrs - olds.

Although every country in the world will experience population aging, differences in the progression of this phenomenon will be considerable.

Japan is currently the world's leader, with 28% of it's population 65 & over, triple has today. Infact, the Republic of Korea's elder share will eventually overtake Japan, reaching the historically unprecedented level of 38.1%. Japan median age (48.4 yrs) is also currently the highest of any country & more than twice that of Africa (19.7 yrs). But by 2050, Korea (median 56.5 yrs in 2050) is expected to overtake Japan on that metric (54.7yrs).

Three decades ago, the world was populated by more than 3 times as many adolescents & young adults (15 to 24 yrs olds) as older people. Three decades from now i.e. 2050 those age groups will be roughly on par.

By income group, the sharpest growth in the numbers of older people will occur in countries currently classified as middle income.

This is unsurprisingly, as these countries make up 74% of the world's population. The older population share in middle income countries is increasing at a much faster rate than in their low & high income counterparts.

In 1870 average global life expectancy was about 30 yrs; today it's 73 yrs & rising (Deaton 2015) & people spend most of these extra years in good health.

In 1960 the average Chinese newborn had only a 27% chance to making it to age 65yrs; today that probability is 83% & rising. Hence around the world on average people can now expect to live longer, healthier lives than in previous generations.

In 1965 there were 129 million people over 65yrs in the world; today there are nearly 750 million & this figure is expected to reach 2.5 billion by 2100. The number of centenarians is also rising - from 20,000 in 1965 to a projected 19 million by 2100.

The fear is that, this phenomenon will weaken economic growth as the number of people of working age declines & the governments' fiscal burden will worsen because of higher pension & health care costs.

Hence from this analysis you can observe the opportunities in the healthcare systems, Real Estates, tertiary institutions to train youths, agriculture & agribusiness among others.

But most especially governments should establish & implement accommodative policies to cater for this increasing population growth as well as aging population since comes up with employment opportunities to mainly the youth & women.

Hence, we encourage youths and women to engage more in commercialized agriculture producing reasonable quantities of food that will be needed world over. So we should plan now for the next 30 yrs in terms of food production.

Demographs (Mortality, Fertility & Migration)

Population size & growth reflect the underlying forces of mortality, fertility & international migration.These forces vary considerably across countries & can help account for key differences in economic activity & performance such as physical capital, labour, & human capital accumulation; economic well being & growth; & poverty & inequality.

For most of human history, the average person lived 30yrs. But between 1950 & 2020, life expectancy increased from 46 to 73 yrs, & projected to increase by 4yrs by 2050; life expectancy is projected to exceed 80 yrs in atleast 91 countries & territories that will then be home of 39% of the world's population.

Increased longevity is a colossal human achievement that reflects improvements in survival prospects throughout the life cycle, but especially among infants & children.

Life expectancy gap between Africa & North America was 32 yrs in 1950 & 24 yrs in 2000; it is 16 yrs today.

In 1950s & 1960s, the average woman had roughly 5 children over the course of her childbearing yrs. Today, the average woman has somewhat fewer 2.5 children & this presumably reflects the growing cost of childbearing.

Currently Africa & Europe are homes to the highest (4.3) & lowest (1.6) fertility rates respectively.

Most of the young energetic and educated Africans are migrating to other continents like Europe, America, Asia etc looking for greener pastures. Migrants accounts to 15% of the 10 most populous economies and have contributed greatly to those countries' socio-economic & political developments.

For example a very good number of energetic & educated youth labour force which would have impacted positively to the socio-economic & political developments of the African Continents migrate to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Dubai etc for employment opportunities due to the alleged unemployment from their mother countries.

This analysis bring to light the opportunities that lie ahead for Agriculture & Agribusiness since the outcome of this steady population growth are people that need food daily as their basic need & medicine.

Hence, there is need for more investments, technical labour forces & improved technologies to enhance commercialization of agriculture on the African Continents to provide the necessary employment opportunities to most especially youths & women while migitigating African Brain Drain.

Demographs a potent driver to the pace & process of economic development.

"Demography is destiny" is an oft-cited phrase that suggests the size, growth, and structure of a nation's population & determines it's long-time social, economic & political fabric.

The world is undergoing a major demographic upheaval with three key components: population growth, changes in fertility & mortality, and associated changes in population age structure.

Population.

It took more than 50,000 yrs for the world population to reach 1 billion people. Since 1969, we have added successive billions every one (1) to two (2) decades.

The world population was 3 billion in 1960; it reached 6 billion around 2000 & the United Nations projects it will surpass 9 billion by 2037. The population growth rate has been slowing, however from peak annual rates in excess of 2% in the late 1960s, to about 1% currently, to half that by 2050.

Although global income per capita move double, life expectancy increased by 16yrs & primary School enrollment became nearly universal among children during 1960 - 2000, rapid population growth poses myriad challenges that are both privately & publically daunting.

These challenges include the need for more food (Agribusiness Opportunities), clothing, housing, education, & Infrastructure; the absorption of sizable numbers into productive employment; and more strenuous environmental protection.

Indeed, the overall slowdown in the rate of world population growth masks significant shifts in the distribution of world population by development status & geographic region.

Countries, the United Nations classifies as less developed encompassed 68% of world population in 1950; today they represent 84%. This share will continue to rise because virtually all the nearly 2 billion net additions to world population projected over the next three decades will occur in less developed regions.

This is a major concern became less developed regions tend to be more fragile - politically, socially, economically & ecologically than our more developed counter parts.

With 1.44 billion people, China currently has the largest national population in the world, followed by India, with 1.38 billion. But by the end of this decade, India will be the most populous country, with a projected 1.50 billion people, compared to the China's peak population of 1.46 billion.

Between 2020 & 2050 , Nigeria currently with 206.14 million people ranked 7th in the world is projected to overtake the United States currently ranked 3rd in the world with 331 million people, to become the world's third most populous nation & Pakistan - already among the 10 most populous ranked 5th with population of 220.89 million people - will surge forward. Currently

East Africa stands at 443,701,268 (443.701268 million) people, with 5.71% of the world's population ranked 1st in Africa by sub-regions' population and among the the regions with a high population growth in the world.

Asia will continue to be home to dominant but declining share of the world's population (60% today & 54% in 2050).

Notwithstanding continued global population growth, in 61 countries & territories that are currently home to 29% of the world's people, population growth in 2020 - 2050 is projected to be negative with sharpest decline ( -23% projected for Bulgaria).

From that analysis we can find out that Covid-19 has highlighted the significance of Agriculture & Agribusiness at large since the enforced prevention & control measures adopted & implemented by various states has compromised on most of other enterprises' operations.

At this moment it's Agriculture & Agribusiness supporting most of the less developed countries & emerging market trends, hence some of these countries have been resistant to this pandemic's economic effects so far. Countries like Tanzania are registering economic growth amidst this Pandemic.

Hence we should invest more in Agribusiness, most esecially along the value chain nodes to create the lost employment opportunities during this Pandemic. Hence we can attain an economically prosperous post Covid-19 Pandemic then reignite our economies.

Calliandra is a valuable fodder for all classes of Ruminants. It's leaves & pods contain large amount of protein of approximately not less than 26% & are free of toxic substances. However, it's high tanin content makes it less useable for Piggery & Poultry Production.

Calliandra is an almost evergreen thornless small Legume tree, usually about 5-6m high, but it can reach a height of 12m with a straight trunk up to 30cm in diameter & many branches that form a dense canopy.

In Uganda, Calliandra is the most cultivated fodder tree& is preferred to Leucaena, Mulberry (Morus alba), tagaseste & gliricidia. Calliandra is a promising shrub for highland areas, hence encouraged for agroforestry projects in East Africa.

Calliandra can be browsed or cut, carried & fed to Livestock freshly. Drying Calliandra leaves before feeding to Livestock may have negative effects on forage quality due to depleciation of protein content. Hence it should be fed to Livestock immediately after cutting.

Feeding Calliandra to Ruminants like Cattle, Goats, etc., results in lower enteric methane emissions that with grasses or herbaceous legumes. It reduces methane by 24% when replacing a non tanniferous Legume at 30% of the diet. Lower methane emissions are typical of tannin-rich forages, but in the case of Calliandra, lower emissions may be primarily due to its fibre characteristics & the lower digestibility of the fibre rather than tannins.

Hence Calliandra is recommended for production of livestock fodder, provision of shades on the farms, control of soil erosion & weeds, improvement of soil fertility etc

Livestock farmers can always plant Calliandra along the fence and also in the paddocks.
