Approximately 75% of the world’s agricultural plant genetic diversity has been lost because of production of high-yielding, genetically uniform plants that have replaced native crops. Therefore, there is a critical need to meet Africa’s food needs while addressing issues of nutrition, food security, poverty, and health by utilizing and conserving nutrient rich indigenous food crops. My long term goal is to contribute to hunger eradication efforts on the African continent by preserving biodiversity of indigenous plants. This will not only provide regional food security, but will promote science literacy, and recruit and educate the next generation of science ambassadors in Ghana and other sub-Saharan African countries. Specific research objective in this proposal was focused on evaluating the genetic diversity of frafra potato populations in Ghana and surrounding sub-Saharan African countries in which this species is cultivated. The proposal included innovative approaches to study traditional subjects while providing hands-on experiential learning experiences for faculty, staff and students at the University of Ghana.
