- TAAT Cassava Compact (Establishing Cassava as an Agro-Industrial Crop)
Our vision and mission for the region by 2020, is to raise at least one million poor people out of poverty and put back into productive use at least 500,000 hectares of degraded land. We will help farmers diversify their cereal-dominated monocropping farming systems to include a wider range of more climate-resilient and drought-tolerant crops such as cassava and legumes. We will also promote the use of cowpea and soybean that fix biological nitrogen to contribute to sustainable intensification and help resolve the challenges of malnutrition.
