Scientific Innovation for a Sustainable Development of African Agriculture
The African continent has considerable potential to reap the benefits associated with modern agricultural biotechnology. Plant biotechnology and breeding represent an invaluable toolbox to face the challenges of African agriculture, such as food and nutrition security, environment protection, soil fertility, and crop adaptation to new climatic conditions. As Africa has only relatively recently adopted agricultural biotechnology, it has the opport…
Well Informed Farmers and Consumers are Positive About Gm Crops in Europe and Africa
Genetically modified (GM) crops are cultivated globally on more than 185 million hectares, but the use of GM crops in Europe and Africa is very limited. Politicians are reluctant to allow such crops because they fear negative public reaction. The political hostility in the EU towards GM crops also has a significant impact on how African policy makers form their opinions for accepting GM crops in their own countries. However, studies reveal that s…
Scientific Innovation for a Sustainable Development of African Agriculture
On August 30-31, 2018, a two-day symposium took place in Ghent (Belgium) with the aim of deliberating on scientific innovation for the development of a sustainable agriculture in Africa. This symposium was attended by African and European scientists, representing both the public and private sectors. Topics included relevant crops for Africa, soil quality, biotic and abiotic stresses, and human and animal health; and were all handled in light of a…
