I think this can be done. I know a brother in the UK who has set up "Garvey Town" a region in Ghana for ALL Africans whetehr on the continent or from the Diaspora. They mix the Amish style lifestyle with a healthy knowledge and understanding of the latest technology. The Japanese and Koreans adapted technology form the West but didn't abandon their farms and agriculture in the process, I think this is what they hope to achieve in Garvey Town. Very early days for Garvey Town but this is the beginning step hopefully.
