What would you say if someone gave you a sweet potato this size??? Some farmers using clean virus free vines get this kind of orange sweet potato and some people like it some do not.... how about you?

#Biofortification and #diversity go hand in hand. Breeders use the natural diversity in the crop to select those with a natural ability to accumulate more #micronutrients in their edible parts, without compromising on yield, drought tolerance, taste, pest&disease tolerance, etc
"Under nutrition, over nutrition & micronutrient deficiencies continue to be of public health concern." Supporting the private sector to scale out #biofortification will reduce these issues especially in rural communities in Africa. @GAINalliance@HarvestPlus@ArunHarvestPlus
