| Version ID | 598 |
| Innovation Title | Crop Wastes of Root, Tuber and Banana turned into Animal & Fish Feed in Nigeria and Uganda |
| Innovation description | Sweetpotato leaves and cassava peels are common by-products which are largely discarded by small-scale farmers and processors in Africa. These locally available materials can be processed into nutrient-rich feed ingredients through application of adequate processing techniques |

Stage reached
| Stage of Innovation | Stage 3: available/ ready for uptake |
| Year (Stage) | 2021 |
| Stage Description | The technology is being progressively taken up by youth groups that have successfully ventured into production and marketing of silage at commercial scale. Besides silage, a new processing technique has been developed and validated for turning the large amount of cassava peels generated at processing sites in Nigeria and Uganda. |
