This podcast episode is recorded in Arba Minch, Ethiopia, and features Dr. Ashenafi Gunnabo, Arba Minch University’s Assistant Professor of Plant-Microbe Interactions. It explores the transformative impact of his collaboration with Vita in the Gamo Highlands. Together, they tackle the critical issue of potato crop diseases that threaten local subsistence farmers. Through the establishment of a tissue culture laboratory, they produce disease-free potato plantlets, significantly boosting crop resilience and yield. This innovation enhances food security and lays the groundwork for sustainable agriculture. The initiative is poised to serve as a model for broader application across Ethiopia and Africa, addressing the pressing challenges of climate change and food security. Visit: https://vitaimpact.org/
