Microbiological, Biochemical and Genetic Potential of Freeze Dried Starter Cultures of Acetic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Tropical Products Found in Sub-Saharan Africa and Intended for Use in the Production of Vinegar. The International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) is a unique international effort that evaluates the relevance, quality and effectiveness of agricultural knowledge, science, and technology (AKST), the effectiveness of public and private sector policies as well as institutional arrangements in relation to AKST. The purpose of IAASTD is to assess the impact of AKST on hunger, poverty, nutrition, human health, and environmental and social sustainability, in order to formulate options for actions to use AKST more effectively to facilitate sustainable development. The IAASTD report concludes that business as usual is not an option, successfully meeting development and sustainability goals and responding to new priorities and changing circumstances would require a fundamental shift in agricultural knowledge, science, and technology.
