Developing Africa through Agriculture

Meera Senthilingam

This week, we investigate the role agriculture can play in improving the African economy with the launch of a new report looking into how Europe and Africa can partner in securing global food security, how African networks and leaders are developing initiatives to boost agricultural productivity and just how big an impact this boost can have. We also find out about a new super-waterproof fabric, discover how our brain decides what we should pay attenention to, get a new insight into how pancreatic cancer develops and investigate whether aeroplane emissions or volcanic eruptions are worse for our environment, in Question of the week!
