Description Small-scale farmers in southern Africa have traditionally relied on sorghum and millet to feed
their families. Seventy-five delegates from 17 countries participated in the SADC/ICRISAT
Regional Sorghum and Pearl M i l l e t Workshop held at Gaborone, Botswana, 25-29 Jul 1994, to
discuss ways of improving sustainable food production in semi-arid areas. Recent research on
sorghum and pearl millet was reviewed through presentations that discussed the role of three
broad disciplines—genetic enhancement, crop protection, and technology transfer—in increasing
food security at household level. Priority areas include enhancement of seed production,
strategies of crop protection, reliable on-farm trials to identify promising varieties, and more
effective technology transfer.
