The Africa Science Dialogue

The Africa Science Dialogue (AfriSD) is an ISAAA-led platform that connects science to society by curbing misinformation on innovations in agriculture, health and environment. 

The social media revolution has contributed towards blurring the lines between fact and fiction and disinformation campaigns targeting new innovations have become more aggressive. In fact, the World Economic Forum has declared misinformation a global catastrophe. This platform aims to address misinformation on scientific issues in a timely manner, contributing towards building public trust. Our intervention has been informed by over 30 years of lessons learnt in communicating about genetically modified crops.

International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) is a not-for-profit organization that delivers the benefits of new agricultural biotechnologies to the poor in developing countries.
