Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Global importance (39 million tons, 95% in developing countries)
• Highly nutritious (25% protein, no transfats, RUTF)
• Valuable as a legume in cereal systems (fixes nitrogen)
• Often a women’s (and cash) crop
Why peanuts?

Feed the Future Food Security Innovation Lab: Peanut and Mycotoxin
• Contaminate numerous crops, and livestock products
• Reduce quality and marketability
• Carcinogenic with serious health effects
• Linked with childhood stunting
Why mycotoxins?
