Africa could feed itself, says development expert - SciDev.Net: "Africa could feed itself within a generation through the application of science-based techniques to agricultural production, according to the editor of a report on how to do this, which will be discussed by East African heads of state today.
The continent has a window of opportunity in which to take decisions to increase food production that would enable it to feed itself, said the report, put together by a 20-member board under the Agricultural Innovation in Africa project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The report, 'New Harvest: Agricultural Innovation in Africa', sounds a note of optimism amidst warnings about the threats to African agriculture against a background of global warming and soaring population."
