Translating Research Findings into Policy in Developing Countries

By: Ojurongbe, Olusola

The thought-provoking research papers presented at the Humboldt Kolleg-Osogbo 2017, compiled in this book give insight into evidence-based quality improvement research in developing countries. The book is divided into three chapters covering subject areas that includes Microbiology and Parasitology, Biochemistry, Physics, Agricultural Science, Statistics, Engineering, Food science and Technology among others. The need for rational use as well as the development of new antibiotics and the usefulness of plant extracts for treatment are presented in the first chapter under the title Health, Treatment and Infection. The second chapter titled Agriculture, Food and Nutrition highlights the importance of biotechnology and effective storage management as a means of improving and increasing agricultural yield. The third chapter is dedicated to the important topics on Waste and Environmental Pollution which still remain a major challenge that requires urgent attention in developing countries. This book will therefore be valuable for students, academicians, researchers and policy makers who are interested in research that focuses on improving the quality of life.
