🌱 Exciting times! Mr Nilesh @i_mnilesh of Dryland Crops Program of @CIMMYT explaining #TRICOT & @ClimMob during a tainings for Group C. This training is empowering #ADCIN #data team with cutting-edge tools for on-farm testing. Together, we're driving #agricultural innovation! – at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Few things are more motivating than seeing the leadership of @IITA_CGIAR and its partners in appropriating, adapting and promoting tricot. What started as a 'trial balloon' a decade ago is now a shared, co-designed approach. @deanmuungani @BelaTeeken @R_E_J_M @ClimMob @1000farms
Tricot: A better method for on-farm crop testing
"...the Tricot method allows easy & standard segregation of participants according to social dimensions & therefore integrates gender & social inclusiveness without much extra effort."

We have lift off! 🚀
Launch of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded project 1000farms. A paradigm shift in crop improvement, moving varietal development back to farmers fields using #citizenscience. Increasing the emphasis on end user preferences in #crop breeding

“Tricot approach can help optimize breeding programs to deliver new varieties that meet end-user preferences and increase farmers’ income,” says Thiago Mendes, a lead potato breeder at @Cipotato.

The TRICOT of cassava in Rwanda gives hope of identifying good cassava varieties with farmers choices @RwandaAgriBoard @IITARWANDA @Jacobvanetten @RwandaAgri

@Jacobvanetten and @XiaofeiZhangcn It is an interesting discussion. Both topics are significantly correlated to each other. Using @ClimMob could be good solution, ‘just put our varieties in the front of users’. Then users should be clearly defined based on the targeted products. – at Accra, Ghana
Just put your varieties in front of different users, using @ClimMob.

"Every time a farmer puts a seed in the ground, it's a scientific experiment. Will this seed be better than the previous one?" says @Jacobvanetten of @BiovIntCIAT_eng. In this #BDPGLOBAL2020 video, learn how ClimMob helps farmers become citizen scientists:
