Brazil is the right partner for the Africa. Africans need to fill their bellies. Not railroads and bridges: The Silicon Valley of food is in Brazil. Perhaps Africans will come to Brazil and take back the package from us. Africa is changing. Perhaps it won't take them so long. We'll see.” If we see anything like what happened in Brazil itself, feeding the world in 2050 will not look like the uphill struggle it appears to be now. A third reason for hope is that Embrapa has expertise which others in Africa simply do not have. It has research stations for cassava and sorghum, which are African staples. It also has experience not just in the cerrado but in more arid regions (called the sertão), in jungles and in the vast wetlands on the border with Paraguay and Bolivia. Africa also needs to make better use of similar lands. “Scientifically, it is not difficult to transfer the technology,” reckons Dr Crestana.
