摘要
Genome editing has great potential to alleviate the persistent food insecurity in Africa. However, achieving this goal is faced with a myriad of challenges. We describe components that we envisage are crucial in positioning Africa for an early commercial agricultural genome editing take-off. We review the evolving genome editing technologies based on CRISPR/Cas systems. We then present the status of research in genome editing to improve food sustainability in Africa, and its potential commercialization in the short-term.
