It thrives in poor soils, supports soil health through nitrogen fixation, and provides a highly nutritious food source \u2013 especially valuable in areas affected by poverty, malnutrition, and water scarcity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A major new UK-CGIAR Centre project [https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/genetic-improvement-of-bambara-groundnut-for-future-nutrition-and-climate-resilience] led by Cambridge\u2019s Crop Science Centre and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) [https:\/\/www.iita.org\/] aims to create the genomic resources and tools to accelerate breeding innovation and develop new varieties of the crop that encourage its wider use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBambara is a hardy climate resilient crop with significant nutritional and soil health improvement qualities,\u201d said Professor Uta Paszkowski [https:\/\/www.cropsciencecentre.org\/staff\/uta-paszkowski\/ \/ https:\/\/www.plantsci.cam.ac.uk\/directory\/uta-paszkowski], Acting Director of the Crop Science Centre and Cambridge lead for the project. \u201cDespite being widely adopted and having many agricultural and dietary benefits, the plant remains underutilized due to yield instability, long cooking times and adaptation issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33697 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ii.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"411\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is a real need to develop cultivars with improved genetic traits. This project aims to create the research platforms needed to facilitate this work,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are very excited that the Cambridge Crop Science Centre is the UK lead for this new UK-CGIAR centre,\u201d said Dr Natasha Yelina, Head of the Crop Breeding Technologies group [https:\/\/www.cropsciencecentre.org\/research\/crop-breeding-technologies\/ \/ https:\/\/www.plantsci.cam.ac.uk\/research\/groups\/crop-breeding-technologies] at the Crop Science Centre and co-PI on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis fully aligns with the Crop Science Centre&#8217;s vision to improve crops for sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>World-leading consortium<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project brings together a diverse and world-leading consortium of research institutions and development partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These include the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) [https:\/\/www.icrisat.org\/], the Alliance Bioversity International and CIAT\u2013Tanzania [https:\/\/alliancebioversityciat.org\/], Niab [https:\/\/www.niab.com\/], the University of Nottingham [https:\/\/www.nottingham.ac.uk\/biosciences\/people\/rahul.bhosale], the Kirkhouse Trust [https:\/\/www.kirkhousetrust.org\/], the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, and the CSIR\u2013Crops Research Institute [https:\/\/cropsresearch.org\/] in Ghana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to be part of this amazing global alliance with such comprehensive expertise. I am honoured and humbled to be involved and am look forward to working together,\u201d said Dr Yelina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33698 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hjt.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"411\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Hapson Mushoriwa, Head of Breeding at IITA, said \u201cThe scientists working on this project have decades of experience in crop genetics and world leading expertise in fields such as legume breeding, crop transformation and gene editing in cereals. We want to take a complimentary approach to research, harnessing the diverse range of expertise and resources each of the partners bring to the consortium.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The teams will be working in Africa, India and the UK, reflecting the project\u2019s focus on addressing the needs of farmers in Bambara groundnut production areas in West, East and Southern Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Field trials in Africa will be a key part of the project \u2013 making the most of the partners\u2019 links with local farmers to develop varieties that perform well in local conditions and that local farmers will welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Improving nutrition and sustainable food production<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work will advance both the genetic tools and the conventional and precision breeding capabilities necessary to accelerate the release of improved varieties of Bambara groundnut. This will help promote wider adoption of the crop by farmers in Africa and potentially other areas like India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developing enhanced varieties of the crop will not only aid the national agricultural priorities of the target countries but also contribute to the broader goals of improving nutrition and sustainable food production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a significant proportion of small holder farmers in Africa are women, improved varieties with more stable yields may provide farmers in Africa, especially the female ones, with greater economic stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Funding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK-CGIAR Centre is funded by the UK\u2019s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) [https:\/\/www.ukri.org\/councils\/bbsrc\/].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK-CGIAR Centre\u2019s Secretariat is hosted by CABI [https:\/\/www.cabi.org\/about-cabi\/], an international, intergovernmental, not-for-profit organisation that improves people\u2019s lives worldwide by providing information and applying scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Image<\/strong>: Harvested Bambara groundnut plant with pods.
