Affordability: Increased Yield

• Critical to stay pace with increasing populations and fewer acres

• Adoption of hybrid seed and management practices make big difference

• Break-through targets for plant genetics – yield, drought tolerance, nitrogen efficiency

• Safer more effective crop pesticide technology

Improving Affordability, Nutrition & HealthAfrican Biofortified Sorghum - Grand Challenges for Global Health Initiative

• Initiative sponsored by Gates Foundation, June 2005

• Consortium led by Africa Harvest

• Sorghum is dietary staple for over 500 million people globally

• DuPont donated technology – Product #1: sorghum with 50%

higher lysine content– Product #2: develop highly

fortified sorghum with improved essential amino acids, digestibility, iron, zinc and elevated levels of key vitamins
