5th African Agriculture Science Week and FARA General Assembly
July 2, 2010| |
The science week and Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) General Assembly will be conducted on 19-24 July 2010 at the Ouga International Convention Center, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso with the theme: African Agricultural Innovation in a Changing Global Environment. Subthemes for discussion include: Investment in agricultural innovation in the post financial crisis era; Knowledge centres and networks to cope with the challenges of globalization and climate change; and Resilience of African agricultural trade to domestic and external shocks . These subtopics are intended to address major challenges including emerging issues which are of the utmost importance and will produce concrete suggestions for actions by FARA's constituents. The pre-plenary meetings, exhibits and poster sessions will be organized to make optimal use of the participants' limited time during the Africa Agricultural Science Week and at the FARA General Assembly.
