Overview

The proposed work of this project contributes to an improved understanding of the impact of food-crop genetics research on the poor and food insecure in Sub-Saharan Africa. A broader and deeper understanding focuses both on the intermediate outcomes of levels of varietal adoption and the dynamics of varietal change, as well as final impacts on poverty and food security
