Protecting Cape Town’s water supply means removing invasive species which are much thirstier than native trees and can survive at elevation! Louise Stafford of @nature_org is overseeing a multi-year effort. @nature_ny @ulfelder

A dynamic duo in BT cowpea! TJ Higgins and Jose Sanchez work closely with Nigeria, Ghana and Burkina Faso to develop phase 2 and 3 of the BT cowpea. Phase 2 will improve resistance to pod-borer and 3 will tackle cowpea weevil, a huge problem for storage. @aatfafrica @CSIRO

Fantastic idea! Create new reefs beneath offshore wind turbines. The animation video is excellent.
“Without clean, renewable energy, the health of our oceans is at grave risk,” says @nature_org's Offshore Wind Policy Manager Tricia Jedele. Learn more about the opportunity for #turbinereefs in our new report with @INSPIREenviron. nature.ly/3H6Ql4c

This is the kind of story that gives me hope for the future! Five to ten million farmers in Nigeria will see a boost in income. “There is not a single farmer who has seen this crop and who didn’t like it”. Awesome story from @josephopoku1990
With insect-resistant #GMO cowpea, Nigeria is estimated to save more US$40 million yearly in insecticide costs while higher yields will earn farmers an additional US$112 million annually. @aatfafrica @AATFMRCowpea allianceforscience.cornell.e…

Happy to be an investor in @Ginkgo Bioworks, as they list on the NYSE (DNA). And great to meet Austin Che last night, one of the five co-founders! Ginkgo is the most exciting company I’ve seen, and can help improve the planet in some innovative and powerful ways.

“the African people deserve at least some credit”! Great piece by @josephopoku1990 on Africa’s relative success with COVID.
Africa has managed to defy every rule in the data analysis book and proved logical scientific projections of COVID catastrophe wrong. @josephopoku1990 identified 4 factors that helped keep the death rate low and offer lessons to be learned in the West. allianceforscience.cornell.e…

Very good news! Genetic engineering gave us vaccines which are helping us get past covid. Kenya and China are moving forward with GMO crops. And more.
Though most of us were preoccupied by COVID this past year, agricultural biotechnology recorded some significant biotech breakthroughs while the pandemic held our attention in a vice grip, reports @MrJustinCremer. allianceforscience.cornell.e…
