Feeding the Future
Empowering African scientists and farmers to build climate-resilient, sustainable solutions for food security
Our Mission
Cultivating Innovation for Africa’s Future
We are empowering African agricultural scientists and smallholder farmers to co-create climate-resilient solutions for a sustainable, food-secure future. We drive Africa’s green revolution by elevating indigenous food crops, fostering farmer empowerment, and delivering inclusive, eco-friendly innovations to nourish a growing continent.

News & Events
The challenges of climate change and food insecurity are urgent—but together, we can create lasting solutions.
At JR Biotek Foundation, we’re launching the Agri-Innovation & Impact Project (AGRIIP), a groundbreaking initiative that will empower 3,000 farmers and 100 scientists to revolutionize Africa’s food systems through climate-smart solutions and innovation.
Support AGRIIP: Transform Agriculture; Transform Lives!
JR Biotek Foundation teamed up with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) and CSIR-Crops Research Institute, Kumasi, Ghana to co-host the inaugural hands-on soil microbial mapping and metagenomics workshop. The workshop, supported by the Oxford Nanopore Technologies, brought together 12 outstanding early-career scientists from seven African and offered them top-notch skills in sequencing, molecular biology, bioinformatics and more. The workshop also served as a fantastic way to connect with other scientists.
