Cassava and forages Research Challenges

CassavaHow to address the issues of pest and diseases in LAC and Asia in the context of climate changeHow to deal with the Genomics and Bioinformatics revolutions? How to incorporate breeding with agronomy to close the yield gap?Expansion and scaling up strategy in Asia Strengthen partnerships in LAC and AsiaDefine next frontier research

ForagesArticulate long term scaling up of strategies for dealing degraded landsLinking farmers to value chain Strengthen and expand partnerships in Asia and AfricaDefine next frontier research
