摘要

粮食价格上涨和相关的政治动荡重新激起了人们对国际合作的兴趣，特别是在粮食安全方面，以及在经济发展方面。本文认为，促进撒哈拉以南非洲地区粮食安全需要考虑三个关键问题:粮食安全与经济发展密不可分;科学和创新是经济发展的必要组成部分;大多数国家的大学都是发展的引擎，非洲也必须如此。工业化国家和非洲应该在推进诸如生物技术等领域的具体技术任务方面建立长期合作。

Agricultural innovation and economic growth in Africa: renewing international cooperation

Rising food prices and the associated political upheavals have rekindled interest in international cooperation on food security in particular and economic development in general. This paper argues that efforts to promote food security in sub-Saharan Africa need take into account three key issues: food security is inseparable from economic development; science and innovation are a necessary part of economic development; universities in most countries are engines of development and must be so in Africa as well. Industrialised countries and Africa should to forge long-term cooperation in advancing specific technology missions in fields such as biotechnology.
