Feed the Future Peanut Innovation Lab

CSIR-SARI in Ghana and N.C. State have worked together for years through the Peanut Innovation Lab to learn the best production practices for peanut. A recent training passed that technology to 51 farmers, including 29 women. @FeedtheFuture @csir_ghana gna.org.gh/2024/11/csir-s…

Congrats to the GGWG on a successful 2024 meeting to share research findings making the groundnut value chain in Ghana stronger. @csir_ghana site.caes.uga.edu/ftfpeanutlab/2…

The Peanut Innovation Lab works with private business to solve problems in the real world. The lab and company Pyxus recently signed an MOU formalizing their mutual desire to work together to make Malawi more food secure. newswire.caes.uga.edu/story/10514/pe…

Congrats to @narouganda for a successful event and getting new varieties into farmers' hands.

Bob Parker, the retired CEO of the National Peanut Board in the U.S., makes a strong argument for the type of investments @FeedtheFuture innovation labs make in agricultural research. Africa is important to the U.S. grower, he argues. farmprogress.com/commentary/why…

Congrats to Stephen Arthur on completing a PhD @KNUSTGH ! His research with the Peanut Innovation Lab will help farmers in Ghana through improved production practices. Arthur worked with Prof. Richard Akromah at KNUST and David Jordan at North Carolina State University.
