The world recently marked the WORLD FOOD SAFETY DAY on 7th June. The event aims to draw attention and inspire action to help prevent, detect and manage foodborne risks, contributing to food security, human health, economic prosperity, agriculture, market access, tourism and sustainable development.
The Launch of the African Animal Breeding Network (AABNet) on 1st June 2021 attracted the participation of more than 150 stakeholders and animal breeders from all over the world. AABNet is a newly established pan African initiative established by CoELIB and its partners to develop the capacity and knowledge transfer for animal breeding and creating innovations to support livestock genetic improvement in Africa.
