$2.5 million has been awarded to Kansas State and the University of Georgia to help farmers in Madagascar improve their growing conditions.
Madagascar is particularly vulnerable to climate change. To help Madagascan farmers adapt, the U.S. Agency for International Development has awarded the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Peanut at University of Georgia an additional $2.5 million to work in partnership with the Global Collaboration on Sorghum and Millet at Kansas State University on a resilient rotation of peanut, sorghum and millet that will improve soil conditions, make farms more productive, feed people and protect the natural environment.
The Global Collaboration on Sorghum and Millet expands the work conducted from 2013 to 2022 through The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Sorghum and Millet.
