Hard science – and a harder job?
Scientists and researchers are often accused of being remote from rural communities. But are they really? In this report, Busani Bafana visited Professor Ntumbizake Mpofu, a livestock specialist in genetics. He asked her whether she is in touch with the realities of rural life and farming. She shares her ideas about what she believes is a hopeful new relationship emerging between scientists and farmers. Are they really worlds apart, and can they find new ways of working together?

Applying local know-how

Race against rice blast
For rice farmers, the disease called ‘rice blast’ is one of the biggest threats. The disease is caused by a fungus, which is carried in the seed of the plant. The disease attacks the plant leaves, which become spotted. Soon the plant is so badly affected that it can no longer make energy and it dies. In a serious case, a whole crop can be lost and the farmer is left with what looks like a field of burned plants.
