The booklet captures some key developments in agricultural biotechnology in Africa. Contrary to the strongly held belief that Africa is not ready to embrace new technologies, much has been accomplished in agricultural biotechnology. It narrates notable scientific breakthroughs, political support, policy formulation, capacity building and awareness creation on agricultural biotechnology in Africa.

Highlights of key activities in three African countries (South Africa, Burkina Faso and Egypt) that have commercialized biotech crops and now experiencing socio-economic benefits and improved environmental conservation are discussed in detail.
