SUMMARY:Breeding better bananas for a richer\, food secure Africa
DESCRIPTION:In East African countries\, bananas are an important staple food and cash crop. However\, most of the East African bananas are susceptible to pests and diseases\, threatening the livelihoods of over 30 million people. Scientists in Kenya and Uganda are developing and testing hybrid cultivars resistant to Black Sigatoka disease\,  the most serious constraint to banana production. In this webinar\, Patricia Nanteza will interview scientists who are developing and promoting the adoption of these hybrid banana varieties. Ivan Kabiita Arinaitwe is a banana breeder at Uganda’s National Banana Research Program\, Mary Mwangi is a lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry\, Microbiology  and Biotechnology at Kenyatta University and Grace Wamue is an associate professor of Sociology\, Gender & Development Studies at Kenyatta University. They will talk about the potential of these high-yielding new hybrids to boost farmers income and food security in Africa\, as well as the gender issues associated with this research. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Food Systems Summit Dialogue: What Role Will Gene Edited Foods Play in Addressing Nutritional Insecurity?
DESCRIPTION:Nutritional insecurity is a pressing topic around the globe. Some nations struggle with widespread lack of access to nutritious foods and the related hunger\, while other nations are facing significant challenges related to increasing levels of obesity due to diets high in fats\, sugars and processed carbohydrates. The Alliance for Science is hosting a conversation that explores the impact that gene editing can have in developing and cultivating nutritious foods that will help to address these intractable problems and positively transform our food systems. Join our independent UN Food Systems Summit dialogue to hear from and engage with a panel of experts in the field of gene editing\, nutrition and policy. Speakers include Dr. Lawrence Haddad\, executive director of the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN); Dr. Tom Adams\, co-founder and CEO of Pairwise; Dr. Cecilia S. Acuin\, associate professor in the Institute of Human Nutrition and Food at the University of the Philippines Los Baños; Ambassador Dr. Miguel J. Garcia-Winder\, Undersecretary of Agriculture/Mexico; and Patience Koku\, CEO of Replenish Farms in Nigeria.  Dr. Sarah Evanega\, director of the Alliance for Science\, will moderate. \nRegister here for Zoom or watch live on Facebook. \nA carton of people gathering crops with the text Food Systems Summit Dialogue: What Role Will Gene Edited Foods Play in Addressing Nutritional Insecurity?
