Accelerating genetic gains, shaping a sustainable future! 🌍🌾
Last week's meeting with the @CGIAR_EiB Accelerated Breeding Initiative team was a powerhouse of innovation and collaboration. #AcceleratedBreeding #SustainableFuture #AgInnovation

Three months in, the conditions at the Kenyan Coast are proving ideal for rapid cassava growth. Disease assessments underway. A step closer to sustainable cassava farming in #Kwale and #Kilifi counties! #Cassava #SustainableDevelopment #Agriculture #ResilienceMatters

[Mercy Daniel @elomercy]

Excited to showcase to the CGIAR EMD Dr Ismahane Elouafi, the SAH technology, an innovation that has revolutionised seed systems for VPCs in Africa. The roles of the breeding and the IITA BIP as a conduit to drive delivery @CGIAR @IITA_CGIAR @CGIAR_EMD @jamesplegg

🥔🍌 Roots tubers & bananas are vital food sources for 3 bn people in #Africa, with high-calorie yields, resilience to drought, & aiding in poverty alleviation

#CropstoEndHunger is transforming @CGIAR breeding networks to deliver genetic gains for RTB👇 https://t.co/V9y37ig0N6

#cassava gaining momentum rapidly in Kenya at the National Cassava Conference and Expo 2023, organized by #SelfHelpAfrica with partners @IITA_CGIAR and others #ncce

[Morag Ferguson @ManiocMorag]

Whose in charge? Pip or the chicken?!

[Morag Ferguson @ManiocMorag]

Impeccable guardian of the chickens. They love her, as do we all!! #bordercollie

[Morag Ferguson @ManiocMorag]

Every little step counts. Virus free #cassava plantlets of improved varieties leave @IITA_CGIAR in Nairobi to start a rapid propagation program at KALRO @kalromkulima in Kakamega #Kenya where pre basic and basic #seed will be produced. #EUinKenya #iitaEastAfrica @iitagoseedltd

[Morag Ferguson @ManiocMorag]

#cassava seed system in #Kenya gains momentum as team from #kephis, #kalro, Ministry of Agriculture, #iita and others learn from progress in #BestCassava seed system in #Tanzania. Huge thanks to #MEDA for organizing

[Morag Ferguson @ManiocMorag]

DG/CEO KALRO stresses that partnership with millers is essential to blend #cassava with #maize and other flours for increased #food_security and #income_generation in #Kenya.

[Morag Ferguson @ManiocMorag]

Great potential for #cassava in #Kenya at the first meeting of the National Root & Tuber Crops Stakeholders Forum (NR&TCSF) @IITA_CGIAR

[UGent @ugent]

Ghent University and VIB to build a global network, @PlantBB_IPBO, on plant #biotechnology and breeding
