We are on a collective mission to improve #cassava in Africa! @IITA_CGIAR @NextGenCassava breeding and #BASICSproject’s SAH rapid multiplication technology is featured in new @nature editorial: https://t.co/X8OIEzPIGH @gatesfoundation @cegesi @CGIAR
New @nature article describes how African scientists are developing improved #cassava varieties, featuring the #BASICSproject's SAH rapid multiplication technology to help varieties reach farmers faster: https://t.co/X8OIEzPIGH @IITA_CGIAR @NextGenCassava @gatesfoundation @CGIAR
Thanks to @BillGates @gatesfoundation, the 'Building a Sustainable, Integrated Seed System for Cassava in Nigeria' #BASICSproject is strengthening the #cassava seed value chain in Nigeria, where millions depend on the crop for their food and livelihood @CGIAR #FunderGratitude

Our @RTB_CGIAR @Cipotato @IITA_CGIAR colleague Dr. Hemant presented the interest of Building an Economically Sustainable, Integrated #Seed #System for #Cassava in #Nigeria (BASICS) project in using @ScalingReady and use in the next 5 years of implementation!
@NextGenCassava is working closely with projects incl. #BASICSproject & @ACAI_IITA says @cegesi: “We think that delivering genetic gain is not just the breeding side. There is a component of improving the agronomy and delivering that in the technology package.” #GCP21BENIN2018
The Semi-Autotrophic Hydroponics (SAH) technology of #BASICSproject sounds complex but it has the potential to transform the cassava industry in Africa thru mass multiplication of clean plants. @GCP21cassava #GCP21Benin2018 @iita_cgiar @rtb_cgiar @cgiar @l_lava @gatesfoundation
"To simplify seed certification and integrate it into the #cassava seed value chain in Nigeria, as part of the #BASICSproject, we developed the Cassava Seed Tracker web and mobile app." - Lava Kumar of @IITA_CGIAR at #GCP21Benin2018. See the app: https://t.co/kF7DFtMJo9 #ICT4Ag
‘Semi Autotrophic Hydroponics’ is a technology to rapidly produce clean #cassava planting material. Under #BASICSProject @IITA_CGIAR started w/ 500 tissue culture plantlets & in 1 year 300,000+ plantlets were produced - Mercy Diebiru-Ojo at #GCP21Benin2018 https://t.co/OoI4K2NQs3
Martin Fregene of @AfDB_Group: “We need a robust seed system of improved #cassava varieties, incl. biofortified varieties. Excellent to see @gatesfoundation financing SAH rapid multiplication system." Learn more on #BASICSproject website: https://t.co/uCGdzQfqDU #GCP21BENIN2018

On Monday 19 March, IITA @Cassavaweedmgt & #BASICSproject will unveil their scientific results & innovations in managing weeds in cassava production to policymakers ➡️https://t.co/qZRVSXiP2m

Laurence Kent @gatesfoundation: #BASICSproject can leverage on... https://t.co/jauhbzj6nY
.@NASC_NG to adopt @IITA_CGIAR's Cassava Seed Tracker https://t.co/lxW0UUdXIz as national seed certification platform. The #CST is a digital platform for communication and networking of cassava seed producers and service providers @RTB_CGIAR #BASICSproject @CGIAR @l_lava
Laurence Kent @gatesfoundation: #BASICSproject can leverage on @IITA_CGIAR projects - @Cassavaweedmgt on controlling weeds via good agric practices and herbicide application; @ACAI_IITA on its suite of agronomic interventions, @HarvestPlus on vitamin A cassava @RTB_CGIAR @CGIAR
Laurence Kent @gatesfoundation: @NASC_NG should be a force for quality to help achieve higher standards in seed production and make farmers grow good quality cassava seeds #BASICSproject @IITA_CGIAR @RTB_CGIAR @CGIAR @Cipotato
.@KentonDashiell: @IITA_CGIAR has been breeding cassava for 50 years and meeting needs of millions of cassava farmers in Africa; @IITA_BIP’s #GoSeed will start producing good quality cassava seeds for planting #BASICSproject @RTB_CGIAR @CGIAR @Cipotato @gatesfoundation
#ClimateChange will reduce crop productivity by about 5% for every degree of warming above historical levels (Challinor et al. 2014). With rates of breeding gains at 1% or less, breeders must speed up their current efforts substantially. #BASICSproject.

What are the challenges ahead #ModernBreeding?
Breeding programs targeting the developing world will need to deliver higher rates of genetic gain to meet the 21st century challenges of 50%-60% greater demand for food commodities, and natural resource constraints. #BASICSproject.
Lawrence Kent,@gatesfoundation :there are lots of opportunities in the cassava system, we have a model here in Nigeria which can already be replicated in other countries. It is profitable and easy to scale #BASICSproject @CGIAR @IITA_CGIAR @RTB_CGIAR @gatesfoundation @Cipotato
