An interdisciplinary approach to optimum food utility of peanut in SAT Africa

Approach

The general goal of the project was to foster interdisciplinary (nutrition, food science, social and economic) institutional-based linkages between U.S. and LDC scientists serving major peanut producing and consuming populations of the Sahel region of Africa for the purpose of optimizing the food utility of peanut. The specific goals of the project were consistent with the general goal of the Peanut CRSP to develop collaborative research and development programs on peanut between social scientists and food scientists at Alabama A&M University and the Agricultural Research Corporation in the Sudan.
