Simple technique to tackle yam diseases
Yam farmers in West Africa often fail to get good yields, with one major cause being disease in their crop.

Beatrice Aighewi and Danny Coyne, two researchers who have been working with yam farmers in Nigeria, discuss how the technique works and the benefits it offers. Interview document
