This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the application level
for various agricultural biotechnologies across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The authors examine the capacity available as well as the enabling
environment, including policy and investments, for facilitating
agricultural biotechnology development and use in the region. For
each Sub-Saharan country, the status of biotechnology application
is assessed in four major sectors; Crops, Livestock, Forestry and
Aquaculture. Examples such as the number and requisite skill levels
of trained personnel, biosafety frameworks and public awareness are
surfaced in these chapters. This work also discusses the impact of
push-pull factors on research, training and food security and
identifies opportunities for investment in biotechnology and local
agribusiness. Development partners, policy makers, agricultural
consultants as well as scientists and private sector investors with
an interest in biotechnology initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa will
find this collection an important account to identify key gaps in
capacity and policy, as well as priority areas going forward. The
volume highlights ways to develop technology and increase
agricultural production capacity through international cooperation
and inclusive economic growth, making it a valuable practice guide
in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular
SDG 2 Zero Hunger and SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth. Clear
case studies round off the reading experience.
