Examining gendered cassava trait preferences through commercial seed business: A case study of Iita GoSeed and Umudike Seeds in Nigeria
This study focuses on how, apart from research, commercial seed initiatives and practices aimed at promoting and selling improved varieties also identified gendered trait preferences of cassava users along the value chain. Since 2015, the public cassava breeding program in Nigeria, led by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in collaboration with the National Root Crops Research Institute (NRCRI), has carried out various res…
Rural youth in southern Nigeria: Fractured lives and ambitious futures
