Smallholder farming communities face highly variable climatic conditions that threaten locally adapted, low-input agriculture. The benefits of modern crop breeding may fail to reach their fields when broadly adapted genetic materials do not address local requirements. To date, participatory metho...

An analysis was conducted of the productivity of smallholder farmers enrolled into an out-growers’ scheme to supply cassava to commercial starch processors under the Nestlé-IITA cassava starch value chain project. Under the project, improved cassava varieties–cloned to be high-yielding, early mat...

Smallholder agriculture involves millions of farmers worldwide. A methodical utilization of their traditional knowledge in modern breeding efforts may help the production of locally adapted varieties better addressing their needs.
In this study, a combination of participatory approaches, genomi...
