Economic, farm, weather, agronomic data from Africa is wanted

We want to create original content, explore, and eventually find answers to the following fundamental questions:  

  • When to plant? 
  • What to plant?
  • Where to sell? 

However, the lack of data is apparent. It's the first problem to solve. To that end the challenge 2 team decided to launch a MASSIVE DATA COLLECTION ACTION.
