Water is crucial 4 developing sustainable livestock systems more so where resources are limited. It was timely that @FAO's #WFD2023 convened by @MAAIF_Uganda & @narouganda & presided over by Hon. @FrankTumwebazek & @queridoAntonioL at @NaCORIUganda focused on this critical theme

From research to the market!!!
Today @narouganda and @MovitProductsUg signed a 5 year Memorandum of understanding to ensure that NARO prototypes suited for the cosmetics industry are scaled out & availed to the public.
This is one way to sustainably support research efforts.

Farmers worldwide struggle with significant crop losses in fruits and vegetables due to nematodes.

These pests penetrate the roots, reproduce, and cause root galling, depriving the plants of vital water and nutrients, resulting in poor growth and economic losses for farmers.

The next live coding session with @jbarbier will be led by students from ALX SE C9 and C10. They will be attempting to rewrite malloc in C, live. They will present some theory, and then code two versions, a very naive one and a bit more advanced.
