A miniature forest of cassava carpets a hill in Sơn La Province, Vietnam, broken only by a small patch of tea. In Southeast Asia, cassava is grown by 8 million farmers for local consumption and, increasingly, export. 7.8 million metric tons of dried cassava circulate on the global market every year, and 7.7 million of these are grown in Southeast Asia. Vietnam is the second major exporter after nearby Thailand.

Farmers from Colpar in central Peru share their preferences for potatoes with researchers from the International Potato Center and Grupo Yanapai. Ultimately, the farmers will decide which potato varieties they plant in their fields so researchers are eager to get them involved early on in the selection process. Photo: Crop Trust/Michael Major

IRRI, LOS BANOS, PHILIPPINES, 9 AUGUST 2016: Workers conduct drought resistance rice sampling at the International Rice Research Institute. IRRI is the world’s premier research organization dedicated to reducing poverty and hunger through rice science; improving the health and welfare of rice farmers and consumers; and protecting the rice-growingenvironment for future generations. IRRI is an independent, nonprofit research andeducational institute founded in 1960 by the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, withsupport from the Philippine government. The institute, headquartered in LosBaños,Philippines, has offices in 17 rice-growing countries in Asia and Africa, and About 1,000 staff members. Working with in-country partners, IRRI develops advanced rice varieties that yield more grain and better withstand pests and disease as well as flooding, drought, and other destructive effects of climate change. More than half of the rice area in Asia is planted to IRRI-bred varieties or their progenies. The institute develops new and improved methods and technologies that enable farmers to manage their farms profitably and sustainably, and recommends rice varieties and agricultural practices suitable to particular farm conditions as well as consumer preferences. IRRI assists national agricultural research and extension systems in formulating and implementing country rice sector strategies. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Reportage by Getty Images for Crop Trust.)

At Estancia Los Niños, Rene Milicevic shows us one of the three 60+ year old alfalfas that Jorge Ivelic from INIA collected in Magallanes [growing behind the ‘daisy’]. This unique sample is now included in the Crop Wild Relatives pre-breeding trials at INIA Kampenaike. Tolerance to drought and frost are traits that researchers are looking for in Magallanes. In the central part of Chile, researchers are searching for drought and heat tolerance. Photo: LS Salazar/Crop Trust
