🍌🫒 PROSSIVA 🫒🚜 Brand new "Program for Seed System Innovation for Vegetatively-propagated crops in Africa" aims to build functional seed systems thru innovation research 4⃣ Crops 5⃣ Countries 🇬🇭🇳🇬🇷🇼🇹🇿🇺🇬 2⃣5⃣ Partners 5⃣ Years 1⃣ Donor Gates Foundation 🔍 More info soon🔎

👨‍🌾👩‍🌾 CSIR-SARI partners with USAID & DRN(DisasterResilienceNetwork)Ghana to elevate groundnut farming in Ghana's Upper West Region. Recent Farmers' Field Day showcased sustainable practices for a brighter agricultural future. 🚀 #SustainableFarming #agriculture Read More: sari.csir.org.gh/2023/09/17/far…

🌿🇬🇭 Mini Yams 🇬🇭🌱 Semi-Autotrophic Hydroponics (SAH) is a clever approach to multiplying plants quickly. It was first used in #Africa for #cassava, but is now being widely used for #yam These cute🧡 little plants are in the super labs of CSIR-SARI, Tamale, #Ghana #PROSSIVA

🌱🇬🇭 Yam Lab Biz🔬🌿 #IITA 's Beatrice Aighewi brainstorms with the research team of CSIR-SARI #Ghana about improving semi-autotrophic hydroponics propagation methods - part of #PROSSIVA cross-Africa efforts to build functional seed systems for vegetatively propagated crops

🌱🇬🇭 Imagine Yams 🇬🇭🔬 🤔 JUST IMAGINE 🤔 You are a #yam seed producer You did an experiment to compare different types of growing media 📊 Here are the Results 📊 Which is the best, second, third & fourth (1, 2, 3 or 4) What do you say? Yam research @ CSIR-SARI #PROSSIVA

Thanks to the solid yam team at CSIR-SARI!! #CSIR_SARI

Overcoming seed system bottlenecks is the #PROSSIVA mandate. We are currently live.

🌿🇹🇿 EGS Panel 🌍🌱 Kwabena Darkwa🇬🇭 Joseph Onyeka🇳🇬 Hadija Mussa🇹🇿 & Chris Omongo🇺🇬 are panel members discussing early generation seed (EGS) production for vegetatively propagated crops. All agree that it is best to produce all of these crops to improve profitability #PROSSIVA

🌿🇹🇿 EGS Panel 🌍🌱 I shared our (CSIR - SARI) progress with clean seed yam production technologies and shed light on efforts to integrate both local and improved varieties into the formal seed system of Ghana to meet the diverse preferences of clients. #PROSSIVA #Csirsari1

🌿 VPC Seed Biz 🌱 #PROSSIVA private seed partners from across Africa 🇬🇭🇹🇿🇳🇬🇳🇱 discuss experiences & challenges with producing vegetatively propagated crop seed for sale. Key constraints include availability of sufficient early generation seed of varieties demanded by farmers

We're all excited and looking forward to this! Thanks to SPUN @BethanFManley Toby Kiers, team Oxford Nanopore Technologies, CSIR-CRI, Dr Ruth Prempeh, Dr Ulzen Jacob Ulzen and everyone involved in this project aimed at supporting Africa-led impact-driven ag-research.

We will usually attempt to control rodents during storage, however, I am finding out that rodent attacks on yam tubers correlate strongly with the food quality. It seems the rodents do a good job selecting the best yams.

Leaf bud cuttings have a huge potential for high quality #yam seed production. In #Prossiva we work with #SeedCompanies in #Ghana and #Nigeria to refine this winning technology and resolve the bottlecks in their own settings. #WithScienceWeCan

We're so excited about our Roots of Resilience event happening tomorrow at Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU). We've just set up the art exhibition led by the incredible Nigerian artist. We're merging African art & science to inspire action with JR Biotek Foundation's AGRIIP. Thanks to Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) for hosting us

Partner with us to bring new seed yam technology to our gallant farmers
