Dear Colleagues,
This is a very pertinent issue in the Southern African Region.
We are faced with new threats in the region:
Climate change- the patterns of rainfall have significantly changed, such that now we require food crops that are resistant to drought.
The loss of indigenous seed crop strains in favour of hybrids, has led to a loss of important source of seed for indigenous farmers.
These topics I would like us to explore in depth.
Regards
Ben
