Excited to share our latest paper on the cassava seed system, exploringthe willingness of #cassava root farmers in #Tanzania to pay for cassava seed.

Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, and CMA CGM have suspended Suez transits.
Ships are rerouting via the Cape — driving longer delivery times and higher fuel costs.

The same western blot image used 23 times in 14 different papers by one Japanese team. The image has been labelled as representing a range of experiments and proteins. This is the most I have ever seen. Perhaps it is a record?
In Bukoba, #Tanzania where plantains dominate, Mr. Abdul Marco is growing a thriving #cassava seed business despite low demand and living with a disability. Working with #IITA varieties, he sells 10-cutting bundles at 500 TSh and markets them door-to-door. Remarkable ingenuity!

New Research: Accelerated cassava varietal turnover in Tanzania, a direct result of cassava seed system interventions https://t.co/42V3M2UsrW #FrontiersIn#SustainableFoodSystems
Our recent work on the #Cassava seed system shows interesting trends in adoption & varietal turnover in #Tanzania. It exemplifies what could be achieved through seed system interventions & makes a strong argument to replicate the model in other countries. https://t.co/MTJ98wzwMl
