Editor’s Note
A striking feature of the
research-for-development work in the Africa Rice Center
is the seamless integration between the activities
carried out by scientists from the Center and those from
the national programs with support from the networks and
consortia convened by the Center. The other striking
feature is that the Center scientists are ever willing
to learn from farmers’ practices and experience and
incorporate traditional wisdom into their research.
This combined approach brings out a great synergy that
leads to remarkable results. The recent breakthrough by
the Center scientists—the development of NERICAs for
lowlands is a successful example of this combined
approach. The story of this breakthrough is reported in
the article Africa Rice Center makes another
breakthrough.
Life at the Center is never at a standstill as you can
judge from the News and notes, which gives you a glimpse
of some of the major events that happened during this
period.
