Rege & Keith Sones) ed.rege@emerge-africa.org The definition and spectrum of ag biotech; the African experience to date; the objectives of the book and how it is organized Chapter 2: The state of Applications of Agricultural Biotechnology in Sub-Saharan Africa (Dan Kiambi, Joel W. Ochieng' and J.E.O. Rege) dionysious.kiambi@pacuniversity.ac.ke Extent of applications of ag biotech (from low- to high-tech) by sectors (crops, livestock, fisheries, and forestry); differences in applications (within and across sectors) by countries and sub-regions of Africa Chapter 3: The state of Capacities for Agricultural Biotechnology in Sub-Saharan Africa (J.E.O. Rege, Joel W. Ochieng' and Dan Kiambi) ed.rege@emerge-africa.org Including access to complementary technologies (e.g. ICT); others? Chapter 4: The state of Enabling Environment for Agricultural Biotechnology in Sub-Saharan Africa (J.E.O Rege, Dan Kiambi, and Joel W.
