NextGen Cassava

Together with our partners around the world, we are bringing new energy and ideas to #cassava as we work to fulfill cassava’s enormous potential as the world’s most versatile climate-smart crop. nextgencassava.org/decade-of-impa…

1. 📣 Exciting news! Our latest #CASS and @NextGenCassava research delving into the metabolic processes that affect dry matter (starch) content in #cassava has just been published in the TPJ (doi.org/10.1111/tpj.16…) @UniFAU, @MPIMP_Potsdam, @Hochschule_KL @IITA_CGIAR

🇹🇿🌿Early bulking variety🌿🇹🇿 Promising cassava variety in the release pipeline. High yield at 6months age (>12roots/plant). Early maturing variety responding very well to diverse agroecologies. Early maturing variety now available🎉. @NextGenCassava @IITA_CGIAR @EdwardKanju

Rodger Voorhies, president of the foundation’s Global Growth & Opportunity Division, discusses efforts to help farmers adapt to climate change in countries that are already being affected by rising temperatures. gatesfoundation.org/ideas/articles… via @gatesfoundation

🌿🇹🇿 Donor & Do'er 🇳🇬🌱 L➡️R Mercy Diebiru-Ojo (IITA Do'er 🇳🇬) Lateef Sanni (IITA - Do'er 🇳🇬) Lawrence Kent (BMGF Donor 🇺🇸) All working with Tz🇹🇿 partners, MEDA & farmers in the BASICS-II PROJECT, which is making huge progress in developing sustainable #cassava seed systems

In our bid to ensure only clean and true-to-type cassava varieties are available and accessible to our farmers, we adopted screen-house technology using semi-Autotrophics (SAH) derived plantlets to scale cassava production. wa.me/message/LWBI7A… #agriculture #cassavafarmer

Thrilled to share our work @Leibniz_DSMZ_en & @NextGenCassava Another chapter in our BIG Story to understand more #CBSD and #CMD and highlight the #resistant #cassava genotypes is there🌿 And the story will continue with more passion 🍃 @DrStephanWinte1 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

At NextGen Cassava, we blend advanced breeding technologies with equally sophisticated approaches to gathering market intelligence to serve a single purpose: meeting the needs of millions of Africans growing, processing, cooking & eating #cassava. @Cornell cals.cornell.edu/news/2023/04/n…

The Management and Staff of National Root Crops Research Institute (NRCRI), Umudike invites you to a 2 day Annual Research Review and Planning Workshop. Theme: Leveraging on Root And Tuber Crops for More Resilient Agriculture-based Economy. #NRCRIAnnualReview2023 @FmardNg

Innovation is needed to reduce Africa’s dependence on imports, writes @EnockChikava of the @gatesfoundation. One example: our partnership with @CGIAR in generating new #cassava varieties that are disease resistant and boost higher production. gatesfoundation.org/ideas/articles…

Nigeria leads the world in yam, cassava, and sweet potato production, says National Root Crops Research Institute - Nairametrics ⁦@nrcri_umudike⁩ nairametrics.com/2023/03/17/nig…

Getting a grip on #cassava virus resistance in Africa, the community of practice is moving

The @MuhogoB team is currently in the field conducting a study on gender-based constraints and opportunities for women and youth CSEs. The team celebrated #IWD2023 by honouring the young women CSEs in Kasulu TC District in Kigoma, Tanzania.

@AgroBioDiverse @cegesi @TheEconomist @nrcri_umudike Over the past 10 years, NextGen Cassava has spurred a radical transformation of cassava breeding practices across sub-Saharan Africa that are now in high demand across the continent. Discover more: nextgencassava.org/decade-of-impa…

@cegesi @NextGenCassava @TheEconomist @nrcri_umudike Can you update us?
