In Tanzania Prof Hussein Shimelis (right) caught up with graduate, Dr Emmanuel Mrema, who will soon be releasing two new elite varieties of sorghum he's bred that are high-yielding, Striga-resistant and FOS-compatible. #plantbreeding #sorghum #Striga

[African Centre for Crop Improvement @AfricanCrop]

ACCI PhD student Mulu Fetahi is breeding wheat in eastern Ethiopia for resistance to #stemrust. Training African plant breeders who can develop improved varieties of the continent's food security crops has been one of our main goals since starting in 2002. #Plantbreeding

[World Bank Education & Skills @WBG_Education]

.@WorldBank we believe that the use of information and communication technologies in #education can play a crucial role in providing new and innovative forms of support to teachers, students & the learning process more broadly.

Locally adapted crop varieties that yield more, are more nutritious, and are resilient to adverse climatic conditions are needed urgently! https://t.co/mMPmByaflQ

Lack of foundation seed (FS) limits supply of seed across Africa. Amos Rutherford of LCIC in Ghana has started his own FS company. Great!
