Abstract
Agricultural biotechnology has the potential to address environmental challenges such as drought and pests1 and to contribute towards the reduction of malnutrition, hunger, and poverty in Africa. This potential may not be fully harnessed in the absence of biosafety legislation. For biotechnology to reach its potential there is need for African governments to put in place necessary regulatory regimes.2
