New NIR diagnostics platform for agricultural research in East and Central Africa

Abstract

This article sets the background for an exciting new linkage between Australian and Africa-based scientists who will use NIR to enhance the safety and value of traditional African crops. It has long been advocated that NIR spectroscopy should be deployed in this fashion because of its inherent advantages and it is encouraging that such a collaboration has commenced.
