尼日利亚农学家慈悲Diebiru-Ojo赢得2025年非洲水栽法促进甘薯和木薯6倍产量粮食奖。 Nigerian agronomist Mercy Diebiru-Ojo wins 2025 Africa Food Prize for hydroponic method boosting yam and cassava yields sixfold.

尼日利亚农业学家Diebiru-Ojo是2025年非洲粮食奖的得主,他正在推行一种水栽农方法,在将甘薯和木薯移植到田地之前,在温室中种植无病植物,将甘薯和木薯的产量提高到每公顷30吨,是典型水平的六倍。 Nigerian agronomist Mercy Diebiru-Ojo, winner of the 2025 Africa Food Prize, is advancing a hydroponic farming method that boosts yam and cassava yields up to 30 tonnes per hectare—six times typical levels—by growing disease-free plantlets in greenhouses before transplanting them into fields. 她在国际热带农业研究所的工作旨在通过提高作物抗御能力,使木薯和甘薯能够在当地加工,消除尼日利亚3 000万人民面临饥饿的粮食无保障状况。 Her work at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture aims to combat food insecurity in Nigeria, where 30 million people face hunger, by improving crop resilience and enabling local processing of cassava and yams. 这项技术在美国的支持下加以调整,支持在15个非洲国家的区域合作下,从原出口转向生物塑料、生物燃料和食品的增值生产。 The technique, adapted with U.S. support, supports a shift from raw export to value-added production in bioplastics, biofuels, and food, with regional collaboration across 15 African nations.
