Conference on humid tropics
The Consortium for Improving Agriculture-based Livelihoods in Central Africa (CIALCA) and the CGIAR Consortium Research Program (CRP) on the Humid Tropics led by IITA will convene an international conference on ‘Challenges and Opportunities for Agricultural Intensification of the Humid-Highland Systems of sub-Saharan Africa’, in Kigali, Rwanda, on 24-27 October 2011.
The humid highlands in sub-Saharan Africa are characterized by high population densities and require intensification. Unfortunately, many communities lack easy access to the means to achieve this.
The conference aims to take stock of the state-of the art in agricultural intensification in the highlands of sub-Sahraran Africa, and to chart the way forward for agricultural research for development in the humid highlands, through keynote presentations, oral and poster presentations, and strategic panel discussions.
