The Sudan Food Security Initiative: Helping Farmers Produce High-Quality Seed Varieties
Capacity development
CIMMYT’s SASAS program boosts food security in conflict-affected Sudan by introducing high-yielding sorghum varieties through demonstration fields. Part of the Sudan Food Security Initiative (SFSI), it strengthens informal seed systems and helps farmers increase yields.
SASAS and partners use the Mega Demonstration Protocol with mother and baby trials in 10 villages in Kassala State to promote drought-tolerant sorghum adoption.
