Biosciences for Farming in Africa (B4FA) was set up to help African farmers unlock the continent’s huge agricultural potential. Initially we provided training to African journalists so they could communicate balanced, scientifically based information on best practice, innovation and entrepreneurship to decision makers, scientists, educators and farmers, alike.
From this grew the B4FA Newswire, providing regular, accurate, unbiased and up-to-date information for those working to improve African agriculture and food security. You, our loyal and growing audience suggests there’s an appetite for what we do, but we cannot continue into 2020 without additional funding.

Genes are formed by a coding unit that contains information for the transcription and translation into a protein. On either side of the coding sequence are regions that are not translated into proteins but they often play an important role in gene expression. The most important region is the promoter because it contains most of the information that determines when and where a gene is expressed.
