Online Postgraduate course on “Participatory Plant Breeding & Resilient Seed Systems: Options for Stakeholder Engagement and Benefit Sharing 30 November 30th –December 04th, 2020.
Sorghum breeding for grain and stover quality through a farmer-
researcher network in West Africa: case of Mali
Baloua Nebie, PhDSorghum Breeder, ICRISAT-West and Central Africa
Evaluation of grain processing decortication ability (women)
Grain by-products (bran, flour, grit) yields
Time for cooking Food yield
Grains
Flour
Bran
Sensory evaluation/Culinary test: Best 4 varieties from field selection+ best local check for food
Decision of farmers to: reject variety retain variety for farmers evaluation/release
Appreciation of food quality: colour, taste, consistency, global
Ranking by research and final decision of farmers
Appreciation of women
Appreciation of men
Example of farmers appreciation tô(colour, taste, consistency, global)

Grain by-products
Git
Flour
Bran
Grit: for food (called sorghum rice in specific zones)
Flour: use to make the most popular food called tô in
West Africa
Bran: for animal feeding (pigs, ships,
cows, etc.)
Importance of different by-products from grains
The importance of different by-products depends on: Food consumption habits (more tô versus more Yanyanki = sorghum rice) Type of farmers (with versus without animals) Bran is an important product for women with pigs and small ruminants
Farmers network plays key role in sorghum variety/hybrid development in West Africa
The variability of conditions is captured through participatory breeding
Breeding objectives are regularly reviewed with farmers implication
Farmers to be considered as partners and not only beneficiaries
Farmers organizations are playing major role in variety release and seed systems ->accessible by farmers
