(USAID Bureau for Resilience and Food Security (RFS)): .Purpose: To implement the Science, Technology and Innovation elements of the Global Food Security Act, a portfolio of research programs across the biophysical and social sciences has been developed that is central to advancing novel solutions that support global efforts to reduce hunger, poverty, and malnutrition. As part of the Feed the Future Agricultural Biotechnology for Food Security Program, this award contributes to these goals by developing and taking to scale agricultural biotechnology products that advance food security objectives...Activities: This activity advances the development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of Genetically Engineered (GE) cassava varieties that are virus-resistant and nutritionally biofortified with enhanced levels of iron and zinc. Under this latest phase of the activity, the Danforth Center is working in partnership with researchers in African partner countries to complete the biosafety regulatory application and release process for locally adapted GE cassava varieties (developed and tested under prior phases of the project), as well as to initiate pilot-scale commercialization

Operated in: India. 1 other country is only tagged on documents.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
