This week marks National Science Week and Dr Bouis will today join a panel discussion between Australian researchers on food bio-fortification at the National Press Club. Nigeria won the right to host AFRIMA for three years (2014-2016). About 44 countries vied to be the host of the iconic continental award AFRIMA. 'We are hoping to reach 1 billion people with the bio-fortified crops by 2030.' AFRIMA is a combined effort by music professionals across the continent aimed at celebrating the rich musical heritage of African continent. we are just getting started,' Dr Bouis said. 'We estimate now that about 20 million people are growing and eating the bio-fortified crops but. Experience the rhythms, songs, movements, and languages of Ghana and other. Since securing funding for the program in 2003, plant breeding of the bio-fortified crops has been released in 30 countries and is being tested in another 25 countries. Study the practical and theoretical traditions of West African music and dance. The programs focus on high-zinc rice and wheat in South Asia and beans and sweet potato in Africa. It is non-reversible, it is with them for the rest of their life,' he said.Дr Bouis received funding to roll out food bio-fortification programs in African and Asian countries and said they had been well received. Current news, interviews, lyrics, multi-media files, and promotional information on the latest artists and their work in African hip hop culture. 'Children who suffer from iron deficiency when they are young children, it lowers their cognitive ability, their IQs. It's estimated 2 billion people suffer from iron or zinc deficiency, and vitamin A deficiency is also widespread.ДЇour of Radio National's Top 5 Under 40 scientists take over the ABC News Snapchat account for Science Week Read moreДr Bouis said research had found taking vitamin A supplements could reduce child mortality by 23 per cent. 'So when poor families grow these crops and eat these food staples in their diets they are getting these extra minerals and vitamins in their diets at no cost to them.' 'What we are trying to do is take the basic staples that poor people are eating all over the world, and getting plant breeders to add iron, zinc, vitamin A to those basic food staples, and keep them just as high-yielding, just as profitable,' he told ABC News Breakfast. Weve been getting stuck into the South African music scene to uncover amazing. He has spent 25 years working to increase the density of critical vitamins and minerals in food crops and is currently in Australia to share his findings. The video is part of a wider campaign to promote bio-fortified foods that have been specially grown to have more nutritional value than regular crops.Дr Howarth Bouis is at the forefront of this campaign and won the 2016 World Food Prize - billed as the Nobel Prize in food - for his research into bio-fortification.
