Congrats to you Blessing and to Chloe and to the whole team!! #WCCA9 recognizes your excellence! Wonderful representation here where two oceans meet! New frontiers in crop diversification that are farmer relevant, way to go CIMMYT and partners!

This week, we came together to celebrate our collective accomplishments & reminisce abt our most cherished & proudest moments working with teamCSISA. "Your work is important" Sieg Snapp CIMMYT conveyed CIMMYT’s pride & gratitude for the contributions made & CSISA's promising work ahead!

Using remote sensing data & surveys with farmers in Bihar & Punjab, India, CIMMYT quantified the effect on farmers’ incomes by combining #ConservationAgriculture methods with carbon credits. #Read their findings. bit.ly/3AdYDbT

I was in India this week and met with Dr Sieglinde Snapp & CIMMYT scientists to discuss sustainable agrifood systems. It was great to share insights from the work of #ACIAR in the region and to better understand the work of CIMMYT. #SDG17 #Partnerships #OneCGIAR

Sharing this is so inspiring: it shows the resilience needed these days. Way to go Hambulo! those who cant do the research like to critque those who do!

#CIMMYT welcomed Her Excellency Hajia Alima Mahama, Ambassador of #Ghana, to our El Batán HQ, showcasing our 55+ years of legacy and innovations, and paving the way for stronger Ghana-Mexico collaboration 🌍🌱 #GlobalPartnerships #SustainableAgriculture

Learn about the role of #women in #agriculture in Sierra Norte de Puebla 🌽👩‍🌾. They lead the production of heirloom maize, crucial for food security. Join #CIMMYT's seminar on August 20 to hear their stories and gender-focused progress. Don’t miss it! ➡ on.cgiar.org/3SREtuE

“Long-term field experiments are national treasures for capturing dynamics in slow-moving variables like soil characteristics, or responses under erratic conditions, like droughts. ” said North Carolina State University Agroecology Professor Dr. Ann Bybee-Finley

Congrats Sylvanus Odjo! He is on the 2024 Top Agri-Food Pioneers #TAPList by World Food Prize Foundation. He is a post-harvest specialist CIMMYT whose work contributes to the sustainable development of agricultural systems in Latin America and West Africa. bit.ly/4e5n3D7

Brilliant panel and engagements. We shared on emerging lessons on ‘Scaling to deliver and delivering at scale’ from #AID-I Southern Africa, emphasizing market-led, data driven scaling approaches.

"Scaling the adoption of drought-tolerant maize, improved legumes, and timely advisories is vital to protecting Zambia's agriculture from climate extremes." -Sieg Snapp (Sieg Snapp CIMMYT), CIMMYT in Panafricanvisions. #AFSForum2024 #InnovateAccelerateScale. More here:

🌾 Melinda Smale’s pioneering work with #CIMMYT has advanced our understanding of crop diversity conservation. 🌱 Her research on maize and wheat genetics informs strategies for sustainable agriculture, supporting global #foodsecurity. 🌍 Read more: bit.ly/3XuCLlO

I survived my first two weeks of teaching. I was inspired by Alice Evans's use of song & literature, so decided to use art to illustrate the gender division of labor in agriculture, & ask students to see what patterns emerged. This is the African section. 1/3

CGIAR's #Scaling for #Impact Program design #team is a #DreamTeam. Great #scientists from all over the globe came together this week in #kenya to chart the next 6 years course to move #agrifood systems #research into #impact. Most #fun I have had in ages, too! 🤝🏴‍☠️

In an interview with @CNBCAfrica, CIMMYT’s Bram Govaerts CIMMYT highlighted how resilient seeds, like drought-tolerant maize, boosted yields by 40%. He also stressed crop diversity, with the #VACS initiative advancing sustainable food systems➡️ bit.ly/4dSxVob Food and Agriculture Organization Under Secretary Jose W. Fernandez

CGIAR #IntheNews 🌾CIMMYT is harnessing the ancient genetic diversity of wild wheat relatives to develop climate and disease-resistant varieties. This research could transform food security for 1.5B people across the Global South. 🔗 on.cgiar.org/3Z60Tw0 allAfrica.com
