Tonight on the #HotSeat we’re talking about how Africa’s Higher Education Centres of Excellence are actually changing things on the ground. Skills, research, real impact.
📢We're pleased to have @SamsonOjok, a beneficiary of the ACEII project, join us this evening for an enlightening X Space to share his 10 years of crop research experience🌾
With advanced training from @Makerere and ongoing collaborations through ACE-supported projects, Ojok continues to champion innovations for resilient #foodsystems and #foodsecurity in #Africa.

I was delighted to meet the team from the Makerere University Regional Centre for Crop Improvement (MARCCI) at the RUFORUM meeting in Yaounde, Cameroon. The team is doing a great job in ensuring food security in Africa.
@ANoowe@FrankTumwebazek@MAAIF_Uganda@narouganda It would need a whole day's lecture to take you through. Just know that there are no GMO crops being grown in Uganda by farmers. The only GMOs in the country are under confinement for research purposes only. Those tasty local foods of "yours" were bred by NARO scientists too.
New high-yielding Rice variety released: A new Rice variety, known as the WDR-73 variety with medium maturity (130 days to maturity) and yield of 9.5 to 10 tonnes per hectare has been officially released at a ceremony held in Kampala.

@cobbo3 We at @narouganda and @NARO_NaCRRI will continue to do our work for Ugandans to the best of our ability. Very many scientists at @narouganda are deserving but what to do!?? Maybe we are just not politically correct 😅😅
Listening to the @rggoobi discredit the Agricultural sector based on classroom theoretical knowledge with no regard to the fact that it is a leading foreign exchange earner and the only sector Uganda confidently has a comparative advantage is nauseating
@ntvuganda Standing up for your wife is a cardinal responsibility, but how you do it defines your character. Chris was wrong but Will just shit on himself by hitting Chris in such an event. Talking him off about it would have been better

It can be challenging to calculate the costs of #CropBreeding. However, crop breeding costs can be accurately estimated with the Breeding Costing Tool's software: https://t.co/dqljJArPWn
