Excited to unveil JR Biotek Foundation AGRIIP, a movement for innovation, resilience & sustainability in African agriculture. Through art, we spotlight African crops’ vital role in livelihoods & the urgent need to protect them from climate shocks. These stories must be told. Join us!

Excited and looking forward to speaking alongside these amazing Gates Cambridge scholars. I'll speak about JR Biotek Foundation's new initiative & bold vision to empower African scientists & smallholder farmers to co-develop climate-smart solutions for food security & sustainability.

An absolute pleasure to be part of this. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations and meeting old friends + making new connections. Many thanks for the kind invitation.

We're so excited about our Roots of Resilience event happening tomorrow at Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU). We've just set up the art exhibition led by the incredible Nigerian artist. We're merging African art & science to inspire action with JR Biotek Foundation's AGRIIP. Thanks to Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) for hosting us

Well, Roots of Resilience is almost here. We're blending art, science & culture to tell untold stories of African farmers, crops & livelihoods through the JR Biotek Foundation Art Gallery + AGRIIP. Thrilled to partner with an incredible Nigerian artist to bring our shared vision to life.

Fascinating and inspiring to hear about the work of JR Biotek Foundation today at Cambridge University - their decade of work towards food security, building a network of African plant scientists and innovators. Food for thought! #AfricaResearch🌱
