To clarify, the #sweetpotato #seed for #Yemen trial was straight from the screenhouse #tissueculture mother plants, hence the material was super elite of highest quality. A farmer wouldn't access this level of seed.

Making most out of limited #seed #potato where there is minimal access to seed. Seeking thoughts, would you recommend cutting tubers or stem cuttings to maximise seed? Video of seed arriving in Port Sudan from earlier this year for interest😊. There are potato heroes out there🥰

#Kenya #potato apical cuttings #seedbusiness. Paul from the Mt Kenya slopes has a nursery for cuttings, selling 10,000 a week to his local seed producers and farmers and as far away as 500km away. Absolutely brilliant! Peter VanderZaag

In continuation with #potato #seedbusiness #Kenya below, Paul sent 2,400 cuttings today to Eldoret, where will be picked to take to farm. Done via matatu, the most common mode of transport in Kenya. Wonderful!

AREA and Thamar University are doing so much on such limited resources which deserves much recognition - the Yemen team is dedicated, only needs resources to realise the potential that exists to bust hunger with sweetpotato and potato.

#WorldPotatoCongress Adelaide. Excited to present Novel Seed Production Strategies. Novel lying in new technologies and using 'old technologies' in innovative ways under diverse circumstances from isolation to insecurity to bring #seed #potato to farmers - this is novel.

Preparing for #EAPR in Norway next week presenting on importance of #potato for #foodsecurity. Standing out, one can harvest a tuber and have satisfying, satiating and highly nutritious food within 30 min without doing anything further to do the tuber. No other staple rivals this

#Seed #Potato #Pemberton BC. Returned from a weekend in Pemberton where the valley town is surrounded by above treeline peaks that provide a natural barrier to many diseases. Adding a picture of Pemberton Meadows where much potato is grown. Love the #PembertonPotato

Rukaria Farm of Paul on the slopes of Mt #Kenya continues to succeed as a ##seedbusiness producing apical cuttings of #potato. Hands up to Paul for persevering in his business, took a few years and vision, which is now blossoming!

Scientists at #INRAN in #Niger are taking initiative to produce their own #seed #potato from tissue culture. Greenhouse production of cuttings began in September and now producing minitubers in the screenhouse. Thanks Dr Ali Abdoulaye of INRAN for sharing.
