Toolbox tuber released

The Toolbox offers a collection of 11 tools that help diagnose, evaluate and improve seed systems of banana, cassava, potato, sweet potato, and yam. These tools can be used by researchers, policy makers, and practitioners working on seed systems of these crops.

Interested? The launch is on 2 March and you can register for the online event.

They’ll help with that pesky adoption gap, hopefully.
