The climate smart CGIAR crops demonstrated by Aly Abousabaa’s team at the INRA Maroc ICARDA Morocco Research Platform aren’t just resilient, they may be the lifeline for rural livelihoods in the face of accelerating climate change.

CGIAR #WithScienceWeCan

It was a pleasure to visit Dr. BHARDWAJ at ICAR-IARI chickpea breeding program, and I was delighted to see the excellent facilities and to interact with the doctoral students and research fellows. I am looking forward to having more collaboration on chickpea with them.

ICARDA is proud to be leading the process of drafting a Dryland Strategy for CGIAR and recently hosted a listening session in Egypt 🇪🇬 with key agriculture stakeholders. It's always fascinating to hear from our partners! Taking solid steps towards resilient agriculture in dry…

I was delighted to have Prof. Dr. Channapatna S. Parakash is the dean of the college of art and science at Tuskegee Uni visit ICARDA's biotech laboratory at ARC-Egypt. I was impressed to engage in a conversation with him on the latest advancements in science & biotechnology.

Wonderful to meet with Secretary Antony Blinken, Department of State on my recent visit to the US, to discuss the Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS) and our shared commitment to leveraging science, innovation, and partnerships to address global food security. #WithScienceWeCan
