05.04.2016 | University of Bonn: Time for Change: Breathing life back into the MENA region agricultural transformation

The University of Bonn and its Center for Development Researh (ZEF) cordially invite you to a Brown Bag Lecture with Dr. Andrew Noble, Deputy Director General, ICARDA,

who will talk about “Time for Change: Breathing life back into the MENA region agricultural transformation”

Date: Tuesday, April 5, 2016, 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.

Venue: Zentrum für Entwicklungsforschung / Center for Development Research (ZEF), Walter-Flex-Straße 3, 53113 Bonn, Ground floor, right conference room.

Abstract:

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region accounts for 6% of the global population or roughly 381 million people. The region is of strategic importance to Europe in terms of trade, energy security, political and regional stability and internal security. Whilst this relationship and interdependency of MENA and Europe can best be described through the emergence of the ‘Neighborhood’ Policy of the European Union (EU), it has been tested by the current plight of millions of people migrating to countries in the region and the EU fleeing war, civil unrest and political persecution. This has and will continue to have profound implications for the region as a whole and for the EU in particular if the root courses of human transmigration are not addressed.

Dr. Noble holds a PhD in Agronomy from the University of Georgia, and has held the position of Principal Research Scientist with the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Organization (CSIRO) in the Division of Land and Water; Project Leader and Principal Research Scientist with the Institute for Commercial Forestry Research; and lecturer in the Department of Crop Science, University of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. His research career in agriculture spans over 30 years and includes research and academic assignments in South Africa, Australia and Southeast and Central Asia.
