Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Labs: Collaborative Research Programs
Peanut and Mycotoxin Innovation Lab
Dave Hoisington, Program Director
March 2014
Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Global importance (39 million tons, 95% in developing countries)
• Highly nutritious (25% protein, no transfats, RUTF)
• Valuable as a legume in cereal systems (fixes nitrogen)
• Often a women’s (and cash) crop
Why peanuts?
Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Contaminate numerous crops, and livestock products
• Reduce quality and marketability
• Carcinogenic with serious health effects
• Linked with childhood stunting
Why mycotoxins?

Peanut value chains in 5 countries
USA
Haiti
Ghana
Malawi Mozambique
Zambia
Mycotoxin mitigation across crops
PMIL’s Focus
Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
Research along the value chain
On-farm productivity research
Breeding
Agronomy
Crop Protection
Technology adoption research
Labor allocation & availability
Scale
Postharvest handling/Marketing research
Drying – low cost, energy efficient
Storage – collective vs individual, biophysical
End-user market opportunities/quality requirements
Scale
Utilization research
Developing new processes/products
Product formulation
Market analysis/consumer research
Partner outreach & engagement in each area facilitates technology uptake

Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Improved priority traits (eg, rosette for Africa)
• Breeding software (e.g, GCP’s Integrated Breeding Platform)
• Genomics-based breeding approaches
• Regional trials
Varietal Improvement
Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Genetic populations – Reference sets, CSSLs, RILs, MAGIC populations
• Increased diversity – Diploid by diploid crosses
• Genotyping platform(s) – SSRs, SNPs, genome sequence
• Quality phenotyping • Statistical analyses & marker identification • Capacity building
Groundnut genomics – targeting aflatoxin
Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Standardized methods and sampling protocols
• Simple, cost-effective detection
• Training
Mycotoxin detection
Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Identify critical points for interventions along the value chain
• Identify/develop most adoptable interventions at these points
• Involve national programs/institutes to build local capacity, including training
Country value chain projects
Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Improved varieties (drought tolerant, disease resistant, higher yield)
• Agronomy practices (knowledge, manuals) • Post-harvest technology (drying,
storage, mechanization options) • Processing technology (shellers) • Market options (local, RUTF,
export) • Detection systems (ELISA, HPLC,
test strips) • Knowledge (peanuts, mycotoxins)
Available technologies
Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Peanuts = poor women’s crop
• Lack of quality control and traceability
• Government interest and policies
• Seed production and distribution
• Knowledge dissemination
• Trained scientists and staff
