💯 agree with @VP that investments today "have the potential to turn the challenges we face into great opportunities that will have generational and global impact." Leveraging #biotech for ag empowers #Africans, creates highly skilled #Jobs, and fosters agricultural independence.

Tune in as I convene African, American, and global business and philanthropic leaders in Zambia to discuss digital inclusion on the continent of Africa and public and private sector investments. https://t.co/bnmvxZNgKP

[Switch Bioworks @SwitchBioworks]

Proud to be part of the $7 billion @VP @KamalaHarris secured with our expanded commitment to build custom biofertilizers for #African soils with #African partners. Fertilizer is the foundation of modern ag. Producing it differently - with #biotech - is #affordable & #sustainable.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Addressing the climate crisis is a global challenge.

I am proud to have secured $7 billion in private sector commitments that will support climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation across the continent of Africa.

[Switch Bioworks @SwitchBioworks]

As @VP @KamalaHarris & @WhiteHouse note, smart #agriculture can help solve the #ClimateCrisis. We're partnering with #Africa to make #fertilizer #sustainable with #biotech: https://t.co/ZiiicRYIem. Fertilizer feeds billions. We can & must remove #FossilFuels from its production.

[Switch Bioworks @SwitchBioworks]

Thrilled to join @VP and @HHichilema in Zambia today as we build partnerships between the US and African nations to promote climate resilience through #sustainable #agriculture! 🇿🇲🇺🇸🌽🌍

[Switch Bioworks @SwitchBioworks]

We had a great time meeting leaders in sustainable agriculture at the @WorldAgriTech Innovation Summit this week and pitching @SwitchBioworks's approach to biofertilizer during the start-up showcase on the main stage! Together we can build a sustainable future! 🎉🧬🦠🌱
