| Summary: | Discover the innovative cassava breeding collaboration between IITA and NRCRI in Nigeria in this documentary. See how they've enhanced the tricot method for inclusivity, especially in social and gender aspects. The film showcases their partnership with the variety release committee to pilot tricot for on-farm testing, gathering valuable insights on crop preferences considering regional, climate, and social/gender differences. Learn how tricot empowers crop users, involving them in the breeding process, and acts as a learning and knowledge-sharing platform.
Tricot, or 'triadic comparison of technologies,' is a citizen science approach simplifying technology testing in farmers' fields. It uses an incomplete block design where each farmer evaluates only three varieties out of the total varieties tested. It streamlines participatory variety selection and enhances the breeding program. Tricot assesses crop varieties across different stages, from planting to processing, and extends its application to consumer testing in food science. Join to explore the potential impact of tricot on increasing the adoption of new crops and fostering positive social change.
