Haiti: Improving the sweetpotato seed system in a challenging humanitarian environment

Share this to :

Sweetpotato, a hardy and nutritious crop, holds immense potential in addressing food security and nutrition in Haiti. However, its full potential can only be realized through a functional seed system that ensures the availability, access and quality of healthy planting materials of local landraces and improved varieties for smallholder farmers.

A joint project by researchers from Quisqueya University and the International Potato Center (CIP) aims to analyze and improve existing seed systems, contributing to agricultural development, breeding, and humanitarian efforts.
