The Sweetpotato Genetic Advances and Innovative Seed Systems (SweetGAINS) project aims to modernize Africa’s current systems for sweetpotato breeding and early generation seed production. The resulting improved varieties and their rapid dissemination and adoption will provide a strong foundation for better nutrition and diversified diets among rural and urban households across the continent.
