2001-2007
This research was conducted from 1996 to 2007 by the Peanut Collaborative Research Support Program (Peanut CRSP). USAID renamed its international groundnut research initiative the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Peanut Productivity and Mycotoxin Control in 2013.
Program Director: Dr. Jonathan H. Williams
Assistant Director: Dr. David G. Cummins
Host: University of Georgia, Griffin GA USA
Target Countries: Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guyana, India, Jamaica, Malawi, Mali, Philippines, Senegal, Thailand and Uganda.
Focus: This grant for international research on groundnut addressed the following major themes:
- Mycotoxins
- Nutrition
- Production efficiency
- Socioeconomic forces
- Utilization
- Post-harvest issues
Cross-cutting areas such as gender equality and capacity building featured prominently in all research.
