Working as a Regional Sweetpotato Specialist for International Potato Center in South West and Central Asia region based in India,currently involved in conducting sweetpotato research through breeding and agronomy. Malnutrition is the serious health problem in South Asia. Contributing to better nutrition, income and health through beta-carotene rich Orange-fleshed sweetpotato helps change the lives of the poor in South Asia and also to meet one of the current MDG. There are pressing demands every day from farming community to agricultural researcher’s for technology transfer and to bridge the gap between inventions and end-users. My involvement in the forthcoming conference can guide me to work on the issues that pertains to researchers for modifying the existing systems into new and efficient forms that can deliver in the best of the interests of the farming community or end-users using limited resources for obtaining maximum benefits.
