A cassava "multiplication site" in Ntondo, DRC. A staple crop in Central Africa, cassava often succumbs to disease, endangering the food security of the farmers who grow it and forcing them to cut down more forest to feed their families. Sites like this aim to boost the proliferation of healthy cassava plants.
