That requires linking science and technology with sound project design, viable business models, risk-sharing instruments and public and private finance, so that promising solutions can move from pilots to commercial scale and generate measurable economic, social and environmental returns.” || @FAO @FAORwanda ✍🏾: Qu Dongyu, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Read more: newtimes.co.rw/article/39716…
