@calestous extension outreach holds the key to bridge the yeild gap in Africa in the short term. Farmers need more D than R in Agri.R&D.

@Ajayvirjakhar I totally agree with you. Most of the technologies they need to get started already exist--including biotechnologies.

@calestous closing the yield gap would help@mark_lynas -
@RichardTol@calestous@mark_lynas I actually think closing the yield gap is priority, not planting GM, as the same low yield will result. -
@azzubairm@RichardTol@calestous How do you know what the result will be if it's not been tried? -
@mark_lynas shiny new technologies for farms in Africa have been tried, and again, and again@azzubairm@calestous -
@RichardTol@mark_lynas@azzubairm All agriculture proceeds by trial-and-error so Africa is no exception. -
@calestous@RichardTol@mark_lynas But Africa doesn't need to 're-invent the wheel' when it's clear major cause of the low yield is methods.
