Today we are sharing something really special. We decided to create a video for our 30th Anniversary this year. Who better to explain Farm Radio International’s origin than the founder: George Atkins? In this video Dr. Atkins tells us the story of how he founded Farm Radio International (formerly Developing Countries Farm Radio Network) in May 1979. So many people around the world now receive appropriate, timely and relevant information through Farm Radio International’s network, all because of a little idea that came from George.
30 years and counting… Thanks George!
