|African Dryland Alliance for Pesticidal
A network for optimising and promoting the use of indigenous botanical knowledge for food security and poverty alleviation in Africa
ADAPPT aims to bring together this expertise across Africa and develop effective and high calibre collaborations among multidisciplinary teams of scientists to make more effective use of pesticidal plants, and promote their use more widely. There can, however, be problems associated with the use of pesticidal plants such as seasonal or geographic availability and variation in efficacy. Research on how to optimise pesticidal plant collection and sustainable use can help prevent over-harvesting. And developing propagation and cultivation methods can help meet local demand as well as stimulate small enterprise development.
The ADAPPT project aims to:
