The church is also working on a Cassava project. They are partnered with IITA who is experimenting with different disease resistant varieties. Here you can see one of the healthy new varieties and also a diseased variety they have grown for years. In one part of the field, they have 42 rows that have two rows each of twenty-one different varieties to see which ones will grow best in these conditions.
This is Nestor who is the site moniter for the Cassava project. I think he has a degree in agriculture. 
I don't know the man's name from IITA on the left, but next is Nestor, President Livingstone, President Binene and Elder Moon.
