“ROOTS
TO EMPOWERMENT”
“Roots to Empowerment” is a documentary about the public-private partnership established between IFDC’s 2SCALE project, Nigerian
Breweries/Heineken, and Psaltry, a company that produces starch from cassava roots. The film describes how the public and private
sector can come together to empower and inspire farmers and local businesses by building relationships, developing strong networks,
establishing organizational and management techniques, and utilizing best farming and business practices. View the full video at

TWITTER
SOIL
CHAT
Ahead of World Soil Day on December 5, 2015, IFDC hosted a Twitter chat to promote soil health and emphasize its importance
in the global fight for food security. Agronomists and soil experts participated in the chat, along with leading non-governmental
organizations and media outlets focused on agricultural development. IFDC president and CEO, J. Scott Angle, joined the expert panel
to discuss the role of fertilizers in boosting soil health, how nutritious soil leads to nutritious crops, farmer constraints to soil health,
and extension strategies to combat poor soil fertility. You can read a full recap of the chat at bit.ly/soilrecap.
