Researchers from three universities in Africa have secured funds from African Union Research Grants Programme to conduct studies on how to fight aflatoxin in maize, manage diseases in fish and improve the breed of ingenious chicken.
This, according to the project, will fight food insecurity on the continent, which has been attributed to lack of sustainable control of diseases.
