Africa is not on track to meet the food security and nutritional targets of #SDG2.

Harriet Ratemo shares the means to integrate modern and emerging technologies to meet the set food security goals globally.

The lack of data relevant to the African continent is hindering progress in ending hunger in Africa.
Harriet notes the need to have data driven strategies in research for a smart and sustainable bioeconomy.

Harriet Ratemo notes that we can use Agriculture 4.0 emerging technologies in four specific areas.

As we mark #InternationalDayofCleanEnergy Africa must rethink its charcoal & firewood dependence.

It is the leading cause of deforestation. Mature 🌳 🌳 have already stored carbon, we shouldn't release it by cutting down trees

Subsidize cooking gas

RePlaneteers @PatNanteza & @MyrtoTripathi gifted the @WorldBank at their pavilion, a piece of charcoal.

They called upon the bank to finance energy transition massively.
500,000 women in Africa die from indoor pollution from charcoal. This has to STOP now.

Proud to be lead author of a new @ScienceAlly paper in the peer-reviewed open-source journal GM Crops & Food: "Misinformation in the media: global coverage of GMOs 2019-2021". We found as much as 20% of press coverage in Africa contained misinformation!
