ABBC 2025
The 6th edition of the Africa Biennial Biosciences Communication (ABBC2025) Symposium, addresses a critical challenge hindering Africa's adoption of innovative biosciences. While bio-innovations offer transformative potential in mitigating climate change effects and advancing health and socio-economic outcomes, misinformation remains a formidable barrier. Indeed, the World Economic Forum has declared misinformation as a global catastrophe.
In an era where digital platforms enable rapid information dissemination, they also facilitate the spread of inaccuracies, undermining the acceptance and utilization of beneficial bio-innovations.
