Godwin Macharia, a crop breeder involved in the UK-CGIAR Centre’s crop genetic improvement project, recently featured in a video for SciDev.Net. Dr Macharia is a Senior Research Scientist at the Kenya Agricultural & Livestock Research Organization (KALRO).
In the video, Godwin talks to SciDev.Net reporter Michael Kaloki about how the project’s researchers are tackling the region’s food crisis by exploring gene editing to develop climate-resilient crops, especially wheat.
This podcast episode provides more answers to the questions around gene editing and the work of the crop genetic enhancement project:
