#ScienceHangout @KokuOnyi We counted just now and we discovered a single plant has over 35 pods. I recommend this to all farmers growing beans. With this farmers can now commercially grow cowpea @OFABnigeria @ScienceAllyNG @IITA_CGIAR @opuahabeikwen @josephopoku1990 @enkaybc
#ScienceHangout To us farmers we have no fears about GM crops. They go through all the Agricultural practices we are used to; planting, weeding, harvesting, storage, etc. We have seen people eat them and they’re alive. So, why? @OFABnigeria @ScienceAlly @IITA_CGIAR @roxydado
#ScienceHangout GM beans is a seed that you don't need much pesticides because the seed itself is pest resistant. It cuts down beans sprays from 10 to 2 times in a season. @ScienceAlly @OFABnigeria @IITA_CGIAR @modestannedi @josephopoku1990 @KokuOnyi @opuahabeikwen @Biz4real57
#ScienceHangout. " I will encourage other farmers to give GM beans a trial please." Get moments from our Science Hangout at a GM cowpea field. Hear what farmers had to say. Full video on the link in the comments. @ScienceAlly @roxydado @IITA_CGIAR @josephopoku1990 @KokuOnyi
#ScienceHangout @KokuOnyi Over the years our beans have continued to be more expensive because we harvest less, so what this variety of cowpea does for us is that it has enabled us to be able to overcome this challenge. @ScienceAlly @roxydado @enkaybc

We held our October #ScienceHangout at a GM beans farmer's field. "I'm tired of harvesting" said @KokuOnyi new pods sprout after I've harvested. Till you visit the farm you won't know it all. @ScienceAlly @roxydado @josephopoku1990 @OFABnigeria @josephopoku1990 @opuahabeikwen
Have you read our #ScienceHangout report? If not read how @FagujiIshiyaku the PI of the GM beans project passionately explained his work. In Nigeria, it isn't just a plant based diet. It's the poor man's meat. @ScienceAlly @OFABnigeria @SheilaAfrica

#ScienceHangout Nigerian farmers will now save NGN 48 billion on insecticide sprays on their beans fields while living healthily. Thanks to GM beans. https://t.co/m9S1PwPBrD @ScienceAlly @OFABnigeria @roxydado @josephopoku1990 @Agricissexy @modestannedi @ABRAHAM2637
#ScienceHangout. @FagujiIshiyaku I'm like every other Nigerian. I have a family, many relatives and friends. We all buy from the same market. I wouldn't have developed a food crop that is unsafe to anyone or the environment" @ScienceAlly @IAR_ABU_NG @roxydado @modestannedi
To celebrate our Postdocs on the National Postdoc Appreciation week, we're hosting a tour to the UCR Botanic Gardens. All #UCRiverside RPA community are invited. After the tour we'll have a #sciencehangout over some snacks and drinks. Register online. https://t.co/wrN1pdvKV0
#ScienceHangout @Ekemeks "If there's no food security, we can't talk about socio-economic development. We must use biotechnology responsibly in addition to existing practices".@ScienceAlly @OFABnigeria @BiosafetyNig @josephopoku1990 @modestannedi @opuahabeikwen @roxydado
#ScienceHangout The role of Genetically modified crops is to increase productivity and quality by enabling crops resist pest, diseases, drought etc.

The #sciencehangout addresses the challenges of food system in Nigeria,ensures massive reduction in the use of chemicals in food production and fosters environment sustainability
@ScienceAlly @OFABnigeria @OfabAfrica @BiosafetyNig @roxydado @josephopoku1990 @modestannedi @enkaybc
The concept of biotech is unknown to many.Therefore #Sciencehangout provides an avenue for public enlightenment on its use,benefits and contributions which are crucial to enhancing food security and socio-economic activities in the country.

#ScienceHangout Once people get to know about the benefits of Biotechnology and the facts. They become enthusiastic about it, that's what happened in Calabar yesterday as @FagujiIshiyaku did justice to the topic. @ScienceAlly @josephopoku1990 @OFABnigeria @afri_isaaa @aatfafrica

"Biotechnology can provide solutions to some of our challenges in the agricultural sector. It can help Nigeria earn massively besides reducing chemicals used in food production"
