Section 3. Activities

คำอธิบายแบบสรุปของกิจกรรมหลัก ตามวัตถุประสงค์

Increased crop production, storage, marketing and value addition.|
Increased of land cover under crop canopy
No answer
Building capacity in local communities on how to optimise on cassava production.

Short description and technical specifications of the technology

Improved cassava variety that blends with indigenous knowledge. This variety reduces land degration and its resilient properties to adverse climatic conditions, disease/pest resistance and drought resistance |
Uses biotechnology

การวิเคราะห์

Section 5. Contribution to impact

Describe on-site impacts (the major two impacts by category)

It is resilient to plant diseases
Does not require use of pesticides and hence retain the soil in their natural condition
Enhances food security among the vulnerable local communities
Highly vegetative hence acts as soil cover to reduce land degradation.
Has good potential for value addition
It is a staple food for most communities in  the arid and semi arid lands
It is drought resistant
It a perenial crop

Describe the major two off-site (i.e. not occurring in the location but in the surrounding areas) impacts

Food processing industries have emerged out of it to its various uses to meet the local market demand
Generate income thro selling the products out the location

Impact on biodiversity and climate change

Explain the reasons:

Can mitigate climate change as a land cover, retention and improvement of traditional food crops and mitigate aginst land degradation. The canopy preserves soil temperature and moisture  thereby enhancing soil biota.|
Encourage use of traditional foods as one of the adaptation measures. Hence the need to invest on resilient crop variety to adverse weather conditions for food security and to protect community livelihoods
The crop acts a carbon sinks for carbon
