Cassava rules

The IITA public awareness machine must be in overdrive, and it looks like it’s running on cassava. Today

  1. a cassava mosaic project got a namecheck in the Sunday Tribune,
  2. news of a newly released drought tolerant variety got picked up in African Science News Service, and
  3. a meeting on value addition got an article in the wonderfully-named Daily Triumph.

Not that I’m complaining. It’s about time cassava got the attention it deserves in Africa.
