Food scientists collaborate with EU partners on Ethiopia potato project
This project, “Developing sustainable seed potato production systems for improved livelihoods” was set up as part of Teagasc’s new policy on international food security. If successful, the research will be disseminated to help local subsistence farmers, firstly in Ethiopia, and then across sub-Saharan Africa through a “Potato Coalition”.
Teagasc is partnering on the project with Vita, the Irish NGO, Wageningen University and Research, the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, the International Potato Centre, Arba Minch University and the Irish Potato Federation.
