Africa Matters: Africa's Farming Future
This week, we go to Kenya, Zambia and Malawi and explore the challenges, innovations and future of farming in Africa. The World Bank says agriculture remains the backbone of Africa's economy with about 70 percent of 1.5 billion people working in the sector. It also accounts for roughly a third of the continent's GDP. But millions of Africans still face hunger and starvation, and it's made worse by the climate crisis, conflicts, rising food prices and disruptions to global supplies.

Food, foresight and the future of farming | Dave Hughes (Syngenta) | SCItalk
Many commentators are currently suggesting that our current food system is broken, and nothing short of a global farming revolution will be required to sustainably feed the world over the next 20-30 years. The talk takes a critical look at agriculture as it is today, how it has evolved over the past century and the impact that new technologies have had. It will then extrapolate into the future, critically examining some of the revolutions that are being proposed, and thinking about what new technologies might impact the way we produce our food, and indeed the food itself, in the decades ahead.
