Agricultural scientists for Africa

Agricultural Scientists for Africa is a specialty group within ASA, CSSA, and SSSA comprised of agricultural scientists of African origin, and more broadly, any scientists engaged in agricultural projects on the African continent or interested in its capacity development. The purpose of Agricultural Scientists for Africa is to foster scientific research in African agriculture, promote collaboration for scientists and students, and accelerate learning, discovery, and step-change innovations for African agriculture.

Agricultural Scientists for Africa seeks to accomplish this goal in a way that is inclusive and tailored to conditions in Africa with a strong emphasis on the effective use of science and technology. This group will work towards developing innovative approaches to address bottlenecks in resource inequity of African agricultural systems, mitigate climate change, restore soil fertility, and utilize crop biodiversity to usher in a uniquely African Green Revolution.
