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
