• Assessment of global biodiversity
• Breeding biology (the lesser known species),
  genetic improvement and hybridization studies
• Capacity building at village or local level on
  processing of products (value adding)
• Market surveys and intelligence to broaden the
  market base as a way of increasing adoption of
  moringa technologies
