Zero Hunger+Food Security is an ultimate goal in this time of food scarcity & hunger. Why cut big yam tubers for planting when you can get healthy yam foundation seeds for planting. Save big yam tubers for PROFIT+FOOD. Plant alternative clean yam minitubers. #FEEDTHEWORLD🌍✅💯

The role being played by women globally in research for development & innovative solutions is enormous. As we celebrate International Day for Women globally, I celebrate the dedication & passion of women in Tissue Culture Unit, Biotechnology Dept, NACGRAB (NBRDA) Ibadan, Nigeria

🇳🇬🌱 Yoruba Yam 🚜🇳🇬 #yam farmers in Ijaiye nr. Ibadan explain seed biology differences between yam varieties. In essence, small mini-tuber (depicted with stones of varied size) can produce large ware Yams & larger minitubers can produce small ware yams, depending on the variety

🇳🇬🧬 Women Leaders🔬🇳🇬 Wonderful to meet talented #Nigerian women leading teams researching crop improvement & seed systems: Drs AFOLAYAN (NACGRAB), IBITOYE (NIHORT) & OKWUONU (NRCRI).Driving vegetatively propagated seed systems development forward in Nigeria 🇳🇬 #CGIAR #PROSSIVA
