More than 200 research and development partners and experts will meet at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) – Nigeria, in a three-day workshop to discuss a new initiative knows as “Africa feeding Africa”, or the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) program.
The TAAT program is a critical strategy for transforming agriculture on the continent. The main goal of this program is to eliminate extreme poverty, ending hunger and malnutrition, achieving food sufficiency and turning Africa into a net food exporter as well as setting Africa in step with global commodity and agricultural value chains.
