Did you know?
Under the Food Safety for Africa (FS4Africa) program co-funded by the European Union, IITA-@CGIAR is tackling food hazards in the informal sector through innovative strategies and use cases.
The IITA team led by experts like @TitilayoFalade1 collaborates directly with local government authorities in South West, Nigeria to equip farmers, traders, logistics' providers and other stakeholders with safe handling, processing, and transportation skills.
June 7 was World Food Safety Day, and IITA is working with partners in strategic ways to improve African food safety systems.

#Tricot approach in #Rwanda is advancing real #CitizenScience, where farmers generate research data.

#IITA trained @oneacrefundRW technicians on the Tricot approach, which they later adopted and now use to identify the best crop varieties for farmers.

Soybean is one of IITA Mandate crops, and one of the few crops that can naturally improve soil fertility.

Through a process called biological nitrogen fixation, soybean works with beneficial soil bacteria to capture nitrogen from the atmosphere and make it available to plants.

This reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and contributes to healthier farming systems, and helps farmers achieve better yields while maintaining soil fertility.

A healthy planet means healthy farms, healthy food, and healthy communities.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, Radio IITA celebrates farmers, researchers, and communities working to protect our environment through sustainable agriculture and climate-smart practices.

Protect nature.

Dr. Olawale Olayide joined us at @RadioIITA alongside postgraduate students from the Department of Sustainability Studies, University of Ibadan, for an insightful chat on #sustainable #development and ecological systems.

We look forward to hosting them again.

Soybean is valued for several reasons:

High protein content makes it an affordable source of nutrition for households, especially where access to animal protein is limited.
It is a key ingredient in livestock and poultry feed, supporting rapidly growing poultry industries across countries such as Nigeria, Zambia, and Uganda.
Soybean improves #soilfertility through biological nitrogen fixation, reducing dependence on expensive nitrogen fertilizers.
It also serves multiple markets including edible oil, soy flour, soy milk, animal feed, and industrial processing.
This month we are highlighting soybeans, food safety and celebrating two years of IITA and its partners helping communities improve their soil health and fertility across several countries in Africa through the Regional Hub for Fertilizer and Soil Health for West Africa and the Sahel.

🔥 The heat is on— and it’s disrupting farms and ecosystems.

A new analysis by @FAO and @WMO highlights extreme heat as a serious threat to agriculture and farmers alike.

Here are just four of the practical solutions it offers 👉 https://t.co/uzjwM1TLGx

Ayédé-Ògbèsè Market still has quality #yam for pounded yam.

I’ve known it since 90s road trips to grandpa. Along Owo–Benin Expressway in Àkúré North, it remains a hub for #traders.

The hardworking #women still pick the best ,nothing’s changed 😊.
