Today we celebrate a crop that sustains hundreds of millions of people around the world. At CASS, researchers across multiple countries are working together to better understand cassava growth, development and carbon allocation. We believe that scientific collaboration is essential for addressing future food security challenges. Thank you to all researchers, farmers, students and partners contributing to cassava science worldwide. 🌱 Happy World Cassava Day! #WorldCassavaDay

Cassava is one of the world’s most important food crops. ✔️ Staple food for more than 800 million people ✔️ Highly resilient under challenging growing conditions ✔️ Essential for food security across tropical regions Yet cassava still receives far less scientific attention than many other major crops. At CASS, we are working to better understand how cassava allocates carbon and resources within the plant to help unlock its full potential for farmers and communities worldwide.
