The seed for Farm Radio International was planted nearly 40 years ago in rural Zambia when a man named George Atkins had a simple, but a really good idea.

It was 1975 and George, a Canadian farm radio broadcaster, was out in the Zambian countryside with his African colleagues as part of a workshop he was running.

As they traveled around interviewing farmers, George asked them about the radio shows they had created recently.
