Cameroon, USA To Cooperate In Agronomic Research
By Godlove BAINKONG, Cameroon Tribune, 09-09-2013
MINRESI boss last Thursday September 5 held talks with America’s Prof. Hortense Dodo.
The Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation (MINRESI) and the
American University of Alabama are working on ways through which they
could develop scientific partnership to enhance biotechnologies in the
domain of agronomic research in the country.
MINRESI boss, Madeleine Tchuinte, and Prof. Hortense Dodo, Professor
of Molecular Biology and an expert in biotechnologies held talks in
Yaounde last Thursday September 5, 2013.
According to a news release from MINRESI, Dr. Madeleine Tchuinte
saluted the initiative stating that it would solidify the already
existing cordial bilateral ties between Cameroon and the United States
of America. She pledged government’s readiness for the partnership. A
scientific collaboration accord, the Minister noted, with focus on
training, reinforcing the material and infrastructural capacities of
researchers could seal the deal.
Cameroon currently faces a variety of food security challenges, as
demand for all food items exceeds national production and experts say
the use of biotechnology can provide solutions that significantly
improve agricultural production.
