Agriculture for Impact contributes to a new Commission in The Lancet exploring how development technologies contribute to global health.

Liz Wilson, Agriculture for Impact has contributed to a collaboration between The Lancet and 海角社区: a Commission examining how medical technology should best be used to improve health in low- and middle-income countries. The report concludes that in many cases, medical technology—almost exclusively developed in rich countries—is simply inappropriate for use in poorer nations.

The Commission was on the 1st August, in time for the opening of 海角社区's  in London.
