项目摘要

The GENEPRINT project is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between a Zambian research institute, a UK-based charity, a UK-based agri-business consultancy & 2 companies with specialisms in Biotech to explore the market & technical feasibility of a novel business model for localised production & marketing of high quality locally-bred seed in Zambia. The innovative idea pushes scientific & commercial boundaries by using genetic analysis to support certification of farmer-bred varieties that can then be marketed & sold through local multiplication companies. The idea is at an early stage & during the project the consortium will explore the commercial potential for localised production of high-quality, locally-bred varieties & the scientific/technical feasibility of portable genetic analysis supporting certification of the farmer-bred varieties. The project meets the challenge of improving small farm productivity by improving access to high-quality seed supplies, optimised for local agronomic conditions. The novel enterprise contributes to the economic growth of Zambia, increasing revenues for male & female smallholders & helping to protect valuable genetic resources. The strategy will initially be implemented in Zambia, but once demonstrated, the novel protocols could be used worldwide.

GENEPRINT项目是一家赞比亚研究机构、一家英国慈善机构、一家英国农业企业咨询公司和两家生物技术专业公司之间的跨学科合作，旨在探索一种新的商业模式的市场和技术可行性，以便在赞比亚本地化生产和销售高质量的本地育种种子。这个创新的想法通过使用基因分析来支持农民培育的品种的认证，从而推动了科学和商业的界限，然后可以通过当地的育种公司进行营销和销售。这个想法还处于早期阶段，在项目期间，该联盟将探索本地化生产高质量、本地培育品种的商业潜力，以及支持农民培育品种认证的便携式遗传分析的科学/技术可行性。该项目通过改善获得高质量种子供应的机会，并根据当地农艺条件进行优化，从而应对提高小农场生产力的挑战。这种新型企业促进了赞比亚的经济增长，增加了男女小农的收入，并有助于保护宝贵的遗传资源。该战略最初将在赞比亚实施，但一旦得到证明，新的协议就可以在全世界使用。
