How to Grow Sweet Potatoes in Soil Bags
Fill soil bags with well-draining soil rich in organic matter to promote sweet potato growth.
Plant sweet potato slips 12–18 inches apart, burying them 2-3 inches deep in the soil.
Maintain consistent moisture levels and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.

Hey #fortification experts - this is a good question! As #biofortified #maize comes on the market, what is your advice to processors 👇 re amount of fortificant?
#vitaminA
With more production of vitamin A rich orange maize, processors will be asking how much fortificant they should add to this maize. This is a question HarvestPlus will be addressing as it engages maize processors this season. What do you consider when fortifying biofortified food?

Skilling the youth in Karamoja, supporting them to make nutritious snacks and start income generating activities. The smiling faces are worth the effort!
Very pleased to see that the BASICS-II team is reviewing, learning & adjusting as they work with #cassava #farmers in #Nigeria and #Tanzania. So much to improve in the #seed system

Having applied behavioural science in the international development realm, these lessons are spot on!

A few weeks ago, Denmark became the first major country to lift the last of its COVID-19 restrictions. Now, they have more cases per capita than nearly anywhere else in the world, and both COVID hospitalizations and deaths have shot up by about a third.
