Dr. Thomas Oberthür, Director of Business & Partnerships, and Dr. Hakim Boulal, Leader APNI Initiative on Resilient Agriculture for African Drylands (#RAfAD), in collaboration with IED Afrique, undertook a field mission to Senegal's Linguere region to meet members of APAFIL (Association des Professionnels et Acteurs de la Filière Lait Local). The team engaged in face-to-face interviews with innovators of local cow milk value chains in Linguere, Dhara and Boulal to generate information required for the development of novel business models.

On July 26-27, APNI’s team got together with farmers and stakeholders, including @ocpgroup Africa, working within in the NUTCAT project that aims to develop a platform to enhance farmer-centric research and development in Africa.
The key objective of the workshop was to operationalize the on-farm experimentation (OFE) process through engagements between farmers, APNI and other stakeholders.
On July 28, a field day was held at Mr. Peter Okoko’s field, a NUTCAT farmer from Nyabeda village in Siaya County, Kenya. During this day, farmers learned about 4R Nutrient Stewardship, good agricultural practices and other farm management practices relevant across the maize value chain.
From July 19 to 22nd, Dr. Thomas Oberthuer (Director of Business and Partnerships), Dr. Kokou Adambounou Amouzou (ATCS Coordinator), Dr. Hakim Boulal (Program Manager, North Africa), and Aziza TANGI (APNI PhD. Intern) visited Tunisia as part of APNI Tree Crops Systems R&D project.
In a half day working session held on July 20, 2022, at the Olive Institute (OI) in Sfax, the APNI and OI scientists jointly reviewed and discussed the next steps for the Olive 4R Nutrient Stewardship Project (2019 – 2022) and defined the R&D priorities under the upcoming #ATCS Olive Tunisia (2022-2025).
In addition to the working session, the team conducted three field visits.
