FAO urges use of technology to transform agri-food system in Africa

Nairobi, Oct 11 (UNI) The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on Friday called for the use of technology to transform agri-food systems in Africa.
The FAO co-hosted a forum in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi that brought together plant scientists from across Africa to promote new food frontiers with African underutilized crops (orphan crops).
"The focus on African orphan crops is not just about food security. It is about empowering communities to cultivate crops that are resilient, nutritious, and locally adapted," FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu said in his opening remarks via video message, according to a statement issued by the FAO.
