Peanut CRSP
This project aims to:
-
reduce levels of aflatoxin
(a toxin resulting from a fungal activity which is prone to
over-developing in tropical conditions)
-
improve income for rural
families
-
help create safer products
for local consumption
-
improve policy
-
improve knowledge through
training
The project studies aflatoxin
and its relation to women because:
-
Women are frequently peanut
farmers or small-scale peanut-food processors.
-
There is a lack of local
knowledge about aflatoxin risks.
-
Poorly stored legumes,
grains, and nuts create a favorable environment for aflatoxin
contamination.
-
Aflatoxin levels in the body
can cause: liver cancer, vitamin A deficiency, and can suppress
one’s immune response.
