Characterization of yam-growing households in the project areas of Ghana
A substantial impact on Africa agriculture can be made through research on crop improvement for the extensive inland valley agro-ecosystems (IVS) extending from the humid forest to the savanna zones in sub saharan Africa. Systematic surveys of farmers have shown that cassava is a favoured upland ...

Attributes of cassava varieties desired by farmers in subSaharan Africa
Stable as well as adaptable genotypes of high-yielding cassava cultivars, should be developed and made available to farmers, to ensure increases in cassava production in a target region or country in sub-Saharan Africa. As farmer-to-farmer contact is the primary means of diffusion of new crop var...
