Overview of Aflasafe Development in Africa
Aflasafe is a biocontrol product developed to reduce aflatoxin contamination in crops like maize and groundnuts. Field trials in multiple African countries found that applying Aflasafe significantly reduced aflatoxin levels at harvest and after storage compared to untreated controls. Aflasafe works by competitively displacing toxigenic fungi with native atoxigenic strains, preventing aflatoxin production. Scaling up Aflasafe use across Africa could help improve food safety, protect health, and increase farmer incomes.

Role of Biotechnology on future of Farmers
This document discusses the role of biotechnology in improving the future of farmers in India. It notes that while farming currently provides livelihoods for 75% of Indians, farmers face challenges from unpredictable climate, pests, and disease that sometimes lead to suicide. Biotechnology can help address these issues in several ways. Bt cotton is genetically engineered to be pest-resistant. Biofertilizers use microorganisms to convert nutrients in the soil into usable forms for plants. Tissue culture techniques produce banana plants with higher yields that are resistant to pests and disease. Transgenic crops also offer benefits like increased yields, nutrition, environmental resistance, and pest resistance to support farmers.
Biotechnology
Food biotechnology employs modern genetic techniques to enhance beneficial traits in plants, animals, and microorganisms for food production. It allows adding or extracting select genes to achieve desired traits like increased yields, nutrition, and resistance to pests and disease. Studies show that properly regulated food biotechnology is safe and can help address issues like global hunger by producing more food on less land. However, some argue unintended effects need further review and consumers support labeling of biotech ingredients. Overall, experts agree food biotechnology has potential benefits but continuous research and oversight is important.
Agriculture and technology
The document discusses the history and development of agriculture and technology. It notes that early agricultural practices like irrigation and crop rotation developed long ago but have made great progress in the past century. The development of technologies like mechanized harvesters, the Haber-Bosch process for nitrogen fixation, the Green Revolution, and genetically modified crops have dramatically increased agricultural production and yields. Modern farms now use a variety of machinery such as tractors, cultivators, seed drills, and milking machines to perform tasks with greater speed and scale than previously possible.
Partnerships and the Future of Agriculture Technology
Presentation delivered by Dr. Robert T. Fraley (Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Monsanto, USA) at Borlaug Summit on Wheat for Food Security. March 25 - 28, 2014, Ciudad Obregon, Mexico.

Biotech and hunger
World hunger remains a problem despite successes of the Green Revolution. Better technology is needed to meet modern requirements, including genetically modified crops. Currently, 800 million people are malnourished worldwide, with Africa disproportionately affected. Food biotechnology employs modern genetics to enhance plant traits for food production and aims to combat hunger by allowing more food production on less land.

The prospects for an African bio-economy
Presented as part of the "Moving Africa Towards a Knowledge Based Bio-economy" seminar on how agricultural innovation and in particular biosciences in areas such as breeding, agro-processing and value addition can contribute to economic growth and sustainable development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Key questions of the seminar:
How the millions of resource-poor smallholder farmers, so vital for food production and economic growth, can benefit from the prospects of a new bio-economy?
How countries in Sub-Saharan Africa can develop programmes, institutional capabilities and bioscience innovation structures able to adapt and use technologies and know-how based on their own priorities and needs?
How can Sweden assist countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to move Towards a Knowledge Based Bio-economy?
Biosafety Policies and Food Security Issues in Africa: How Enhancing?
Biosafety Policies and Food Security Issues in Africa: How Enhancing?FARA - Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa
Biosafety policies and food security issues in Africa can be enhanced through several measures:
1) Widespread adoption of improved seeds, fertilizers, crop protection chemicals, irrigation equipment and farmer training to boost agricultural productivity.
2) Establishing well-functioning markets, infrastructure, and policies to incentivize investment and enable trade.
3) Developing proactive, science-based biosafety regulations and addressing capacity issues to facilitate adoption of genetically modified crops, which modeling shows could provide large economic benefits for countries like Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana.
4) Addressing challenges including limited regulatory expertise, complex decision-making processes, and lack of funding for long-term regulatoryBiosafety Policies and Food Security Issues in Africa: How Enhancing?
Biosafety Policies and Food Security Issues in Africa: How Enhancing?FARA - Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa
Diran Makinde presented on biosafety policies and food security issues in Africa. He discussed how Africa spends $30-50 billion annually importing food that could be used for infrastructure and development. Key threats to African food security include low soil fertility, poor crop management, pests and diseases. Transforming African agriculture will require improved seeds, fertilizers, markets, policy reforms and building regulatory capacity for crops improved through biotechnology. Challenges include balancing risks and benefits, building human and institutional capacity, and operationalizing complex regulatory frameworks. Sustainable adoption of biotech crops in Africa requires appropriate regulation, research, extension services, and addressing unfair trade issues.5 ga pworking-conceptpaperexternal
This document provides background on the concepts of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). It discusses how GAP evolved from agricultural research and extension guidelines aimed at increasing productivity and farmer income. More recently, GAP has taken on increased importance due to demands from food markets for assurances around food safety, environmental, and social standards. The document outlines the history of GAP framework development at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), including defining common GAP principles, guidance from a Committee on Agriculture, and an expert consultation that defined a GAP concept for FAO focusing on developing country contexts.

The document summarizes AGRA's Soil Health Program, which aims to promote soil health and increase agricultural productivity in Africa. The program has three primary goals: increasing sustainable fertilizer supply; promoting the adoption of integrated soil fertility management practices by smallholder farmers; and creating an enabling policy environment. By 2014, the program aims to provide access to improved practices for over 4 million farmers, with 2 million adopting those practices to boost yields. It also discusses challenges such as low soil fertility and ways to promote conservation agriculture principles through demonstration projects, farmer training, and partnerships.Thomas Munthali
The document discusses the role of the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) in building capacity for science, technology, and innovation (STI) in Africa, particularly for agricultural biotechnology. It makes three key points:
1) STI is essential for economic growth but Africa faces a shortage of agricultural specialists, indicating a need to build capacity in biotechnology. Biotechnology can help address food insecurity challenges through crops like drought-resistant maize varieties.
2) ACBF supports STI capacity building through research, training centers of excellence, and case studies on successes like drought-resistant maize in Zimbabwe.
3) Effectively developing STI in Africa requires evidence-based agricultural policies,

While agriculture contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, it also provides opportunities for carbon storage in soils and tree crops. In Africa, conventional agriculture depletes soil organic matter. However, African farmers have potential to mitigate emissions and increase yields through practices like agroforestry. Carbon finance could support training farmers in new practices and establishing systems to monitor carbon and agricultural benefits. Current successful carbon-funded projects in Africa have clearly defined locations and beneficiaries, organizations to aggregate groups and provide incentives, quantified carbon reduction targets using tools like EX-ACT, and access to carbon funding support.
THEME – 5 FINDINGS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF TECHNOLOGIES F...
This document summarizes findings from a study that assessed the demand and supply of agricultural innovations in Africa to help bridge the gap between research and adoption. The study collected data from farmer organizations, intermediaries, and International Agricultural Research Centers on key crops, livestock and trees. It found that while many innovations addressed major needs like drought-resistant seed, many also required substantial investment for adoption. Face-to-face methods were most used to share innovations, while affordability and access remained challenges, especially for resource-poor farmers. The study provided some matching cases of innovations addressing needs and concluded that while research centers were addressing some key issues, improved accessibility and extension support were still needed.
