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.A miniature forest of cassava carpets a hill in Sơn La Province, Vietnam, broken only by a small patch of tea.

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.
