Impact of Bio-fortified Sweet Potato Adoption on Food and Nutrition Security in Tigray, Ethiopia.

In Tigray region of Ethiopia, 80% of the population is poor and malnourished. Bio-fortified sweet potato, the flagship of agriculture-based nutrition interventions, could help to reverse that trend, but its adoption rate is tremendously lower than elsewhere in Ethiopia. This project examines the drivers and impact of its adoption in order to improve food, and nutrition security, and rural development.
