Using its innovative small pack methodology, and with the support of RIU, FIPS-Africa is empowering hundreds of thousands of farmers to see the benefits of research, adopt the use of higher-yielding crop varieties, and increase their food production.
FIPS-Africa is also assisting young people, like Truphena (right), to generate income from selling these varieties to farmers whilst providing advice on their best management.
