The Cassava Lighthouse is an initiative led by the Foresight and Applied Economics (FAE) team and the Cassava Program of the Alliance of Bioversity International and the international Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), which seeks to compile and make available to the different key stakeholders in the cassava sector, relevant information and analysis of the crop to strengthen decision making. The platform summarizes historical information from several cassava (Manihot Esculenta) producing countries, including productivity, trade and competitiveness, policies and incentives, genetic improvement, and pests and diseases. It is also developing complementary sections that generate tools and analysis of interest to the sector. It has a special section on scientific studies related to the crop, which allows characterizing the volume of studies carried out and their global contribution, highlighting those developed by the Alliance.
