Anggota Jaringan Petani Global Nigeria, Sabar Koku, wrote a few weeks ago in Let Africans Decide What Is Best For Africa about her participation on a panel at CRISPRcon 2019. The video of the recent panel discusson held in the Netherlands can be found at the organization’s website and seen at their Youtube page. So now you can see for yourself exactly what this remarkable woman and farmer meant she posed the question in her column, “Why was a Europeanexpertlecturing me on what African farmers need and don’t need?”

CRISPRcon – a program of the non-advocacy, non-profit Keystone Policy Center – creates a unique forum in which a broad selection of diverse voices come together to discuss the societal aspects of CRISPR and other emerging genetic technologies across applications including agriculture, health, and conservation. CRISPRcon 2019 was hosted by Wageningen University and Research on June 20-21 in the Netherlands. This marked the third annual CRISPRcon and the first outside the U.S.
