The #bioeconomy is a new model for industry & the economy. It involves using renewable biological resources sustainably to produce food, energy, & industrial goods. It also exploits the untapped potential stored within millions of tons of biological waste and residual materials

Farming in the face of climate change requires scientific insights. By collaborating with scientists, farmers gain access to valuable climate data, precision agriculture tools, and adaptation strategies. #ClimateActionZone #FarmersMatter Alliance for Science

"Farmers are the guardians of our food and land. It's our responsibility to protect their rights, advocate for fair policies, and create an enabling environment for their success" Ake Mamo, Director of Comms, Alliance for Science #FarmersMatter #ClimateActionZone

"I'm thankful to all my brothers and sisters who along the way have helped me to learn a little bit of a different thing so that now I can create some melting pot of things. Because science is the backdrop of all life is science." #Asselau Alliance for Science

"We know #geneediting supports sustainability. We know it creates economy". Rare acknowledgement from biosafety regulators. Dr Rufus Ebegba, Nigeria. #ABBC2023. Isabel

South-South Collaboration for Innovation Workshop kicks off today at Windsor Hotel in Nairobi. #SouthSouth #GeneticEngineering #LMOs

The Workshop brings together a group of countries that strongly believe in the added value of innovation to share knowledge and experiences that encourage the global south to create a supportive environment for scientific research. #LMOs #GenomeEditing #GeneticEngineering

"To make sure innovations are fostered and supported, there is a need to actively engage on the policy issues that often have become major hurdles (and often the rate-limiting step) to innovative product adoption." Roy Mugiira Biosafety Kenya- Official #SouthSouthCollaboration #GeneEditing
