The food security of Andean small-scale potato farmers is dependent on the quality of their planting materials. Potatoes are susceptible to pathogen and pest accumulation in seed tubers over successive cycles of vegetative propagation, leading to seed degeneration and falling yields. This project...
In addition to providing vital food security, orange-fleshed sweetpotato is rich in vitamin A, a nutrient that is essential for healthy growth in children. The project promotes its adoption at institutional level to address Ethiopia’s persistent malnutrition.

Data-driven biology could have a major impact on health, agriculture, and environmental management, but Latin American scientist have yet to fully benefit from this new approach. The ‘CABANA’ project aims to promote the use of bioinformatics in lead institutions, which will form hubs for wider di...
