 My name is Lawrence Misa Abwade. I am the Director for CSA Plant Genetic Resources Research Institute. We have the nationwide mandate to collect and conserve plant-genetic resources of Ghana to save them from extinction. Over the years, we have been losing this gemplasm as a result of the activities of man and natural hazards, including climate change. We have collected and conserved over 10,000 plant species of cereals, legumes and vegetables. In the recent sponsorship from the FAO, we have managed to release six varieties of capi that we are also conserving. We some are resistant to stagger that is very useful for the development of capi in the northern parts of Ghana. It is our hope that we continue to conserve this genetic resources sustainable for future food security. Thank you.
