LUCAS/Africa College Seminar: Lionel Cliffe (Geography) and Christine H. Foyer 'Green Revolution and GM Crops in Africa'

Location: School of Earth and Environment, Seminar Room 8.119 NOTE CHANGE!

Lionel Cliffe is a LUCAS board member and Emeritus Professor of Geography with particular interest in land politics in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Kenya.

Professor Christine H. Foyer is of the Centre for Plant Sciences whose lab looks at, inter alia, plant performance: plant performance and the predictability of crop yield are severely hampered by environmental factors particularly abiotic stresses that restrict plant vigour and create a "yield gap".

Both are also active members of Africa College.

NOTE 6/12/11: The seminar venue has changed. Also we attach the following message from Lionel Cliffe:

Lionel hopes, as it will be the eve of the the 50th Anniversary of Tanzanian independence, that others will wish to join him after the seminar for a celebratory drink.

Also, in celebration of the holiday season wine and mince pies will be available at the seminar.
