Foremost agricultural journal of American farmers\u2014The Progressive Farmer<\/em>\u2014has said that IITA\u2019s partnership with the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Soybean Value Chain Research (SIL) is providing the needed technical support to improve agriculture and address African nutritional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Thumbnail<\/a>The innovation lab which is located at the University of Illinois also collaborates with researchers from several institutions to provide expertise and help African consumers and farmers get easy access to soybean and its products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an article entitled \u201cA taste for Soy\u201d published in the March 2017 edition of the journal, Peter Goldsmith, principal investigator for the Soybean Innovation Lab spoke extensively about how specialists from various American universities are working with research and development organizations in Africa such as\u00a0IITA<\/a>\u00a0and the National Agricultural Research System of Africa to show how soy can help enrich both livestock rations and human diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSIL works with IITA, because they (IITA) have the expertise in tropical environments to identify and promote improved seed management practices and to increase soybean breeding capacity, develop adapted cultivars for the region, and introduce elite germplasm,\u201d Goldsmith says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIL also partners with IITA to find ways to manage seed quality and postharvest storage and loss in the tropical climate. Read full article\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
