 New DVD video:
An African Green Revolution
was
released
at the Africa Fertilizer Summit.
The 12-minute video addresses the
same problems and potentials as the Summit: soil nutrient mining in
sub-Saharan Africa; the need for both mineral and organic
fertilizers to restore soil health; how the Green Revolution, which
brought food self sufficiency to Asia, bypassed Africa; the
potential for an African Green Revolution; problems of getting
affordable fertilizers to African farmers; and the potential for
domestic fertilizer production.
The video includes UN Secretary
General Kofi Annan’s historic call for “a uniquely African Green
Revolution.” Also featured are Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo,
Nobel Laureate Dr. Norman Borlaug, African
farmers, and scientists concerned with soil fertility in
Africa.
IFDC
is making the video
available at reproduction and postage cost: $10.
