A set of tools on best practices for practitioners and investors in the seeds sector. The Seed2B Toolkit is a comprehensive resource designed to bridge the gap between advanced breeding and the successful commercialization of improved seed varieties. It provides step-by-step guidance, tools, and best practices across the product lifecycle—from problem identification to solution delivery—ensuring smallholder farmers access high-quality seeds tailored to their needs. The toolkit emphasizes collaboration between public and private stakeholders to establish standards for seed development and dissemination.
Bio-stimulant for free smallholders' access to biofertilizers to support enhanced plant yields! Lifeworks Global is advancing sustainable agriculture through Lactobacillus Serum and Fish Hydrolysate, organic microbial fertilizers, and plant biostimulants that enhance soil health, nutrient efficiency, and crop productivity. These technologies, rooted in the use of hydrolyzed proteins since the 1970s, leverage amino acid-rich formulas to improve plant growth and resilience to stress. The global adoption of such solutions reflects diverse regulatory classifications: Brazil considers them biofertilizers, Canada views them as supplements, and the USA defines them as biostimulants under the 2018 Farm Bill, highlighting their role in boosting crop quality and yield.
With QualiSani, no more toxic compounds such as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in your smoked fish and grilled meat, and reduction of cancer risk for consumers. Traditional methods of grilling and smoking food, particularly in African countries, have long been associated with health risks due to the formation of harmful compounds such as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). These carcinogenic substances are produced when food is exposed to smoke and high temperatures, and their presence in grilled and smoked products has raised significant public health concerns. Studies conducted in Benin country have revealed alarming levels of PAHs in smoked and grilled meats and fish, often exceeding international safety standards. This contamination is linked to the direct exposure of food to smoke, the type of fuel used (often wood), and the inefficient design of traditional processing equipment. The accumulation of PAHs not only poses a cancer risk to consumers but also hampers the marketability of these products in regions with stricter food safety regulations. Addressing this challenge requires innovations in food processing technologies that can reduce or eliminate the formation of PAHs while maintaining or improving the efficiency and productivity of the smoking and grilling process. The development of improved equipment, such as QualiSani, represents a significant step towards safer food processing practices. These advancements aim to protect consumers' health, enhance the quality of grilled and smoked products, and support the sustainable development of small to medium-sized food processing enterprises.
SOP for a productive, high value and market-oriented aquaculture sector. The fish farming industry is growing in Africa and tilapia hatcheries plays an important role to ensure the quality of seed produced. Egypt is the African leading aquaculture producer and the Egyptian tilapia hatcheries supply farms with seed which contribute to national farmed fish production. The existing hatcheries face a number of constraints mostly low production capacities mainly due to poor management of broodstocks, low survival rates of the produced fries/fingerlings, poor growth rates and others all due to non-existence of standard operating procedures that would facilitate improvement of the mentioned constraints. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are a set of written instructions that describe step-by-step processes that must be taken to accurately perform routine activities to meets quality standards. The SOPs doesn’t focus on what needs to be done but rather how the routine tasks at the facility should be performed.
