Resumen
Descripción
This brief overviews the Aflacontrol project, a multidisciplinary effort from 2009 to 2012 that sought to provide empirical evidence of the cost-effectiveness of aflatoxin risk-reduction strategies along maize and groundnut value chains. The project aimed to assess the potential for farmers, consumers, processors, and traders to uptake and adopt these control strategies and interventions.
