Ethnolinguistic and genetic diversity of fonio (Digitaria exilis) in Senegal

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView., 2023
Fonio (Digitaria exilis—Kippist—Stapf) is a neglected cereal crop that plays a crucial role in the food and nutritional security of sub‐Saharan populations. Currently threatened with extinction in many countries, fonio, like other minor species, could help give insights into the history of African agriculture and provide clues to past social ...

Expected yield and economic improvements of a yam seed system in West Africa using agro‐physiological modelling

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView., 2023
Yam is a major tropical root crop and a staple food for millions of people in West Africa. The model used in this study shows that promoting the use of improved seed tubers would help increase yields and profitability for farmers. This could lead to improved food security, increased income and higher standards of living.
