CGIAR

🌾 🔬 Behind every resilient harvest is decades of science, partnership and local knowledge. 🌍 CGIAR works to turn scientific breakthroughs into practical solutions that farmers can use today and adapt for tomorrow. 📺 on.cgiar.org/45HaDPT #WithScienceWeCan #FoodSystems

🙍‍♀️ 🌾 Women are already leading agrifood systems. So why are their contributions still overlooked? Real-world action in India is helping unlock women’s leadership and build stronger, more inclusive food systems 👉 on.cgiar.org/4bs6wcC @BiovIntCIAT_eng

As we mark the International Women's Day 2026 we asked @CGIAR researchers the one discriminatory norm or barrier for women that they find most urgent to change in food systems Beziaet Dessalegn , Social Science Specialist at @ICARDA shares more: youtube.com/shorts/s9m5x2o… #IWD2026

💧🌾 For women farmers, growing rice means navigating uncertainty - water levels, climate shifts and limited access to resources and knowledge. When women have access to information, tools and opportunities, they don’t just grow crops. They strengthen food systems for all. @irri

In March, we celebrate the impact of #women in agriculture. “Celebrating women shouldn’t be limited to March 8. From labs to cassava fields, their contributions to innovation and entrepreneurship drive real change.” 🎥 More from @YvonneIshimwe1 #IWD2026 @CGIARgender @IITA_CGIAR

We’re launching #EvidenceForAfrica — a weekly look at research shaping food systems across the continent. This week: evidence from Nigeria shows maize traders prioritize: • Road security • Flood-proof infrastructure • Cash relief after shocks bit.ly/4bjN9Ug @CGIAR

Advancing justice in #agrifood systems means tackling barriers so #women can move beyond participation to sustained success. I-Youth is closing #gender gaps with inclusive training, stronger #cooperatives & market connections. #IWD2026 #IYouthInAction @MastercardFdn @IITA_CGIAR

What's the one action we can take to close the gender gaps in food, land and water systems? Dina Najjar, Senior Scientist with @ICARDA says we must improve women land rights Watch full video: on.cgiar.org/4rzxuVC #GenderinAg #IWD2026 #ForAllWomenandGirls @CGIARgender

Why do households often prefer men—not women—to take paid jobs, even when women could earn more? A new paper by @JEAllenIV, Daniel Gilligan, Sikandra Kurdi, Nada Shokry & Basma Yassa use experimental survey evidence to measure gendered work norms in #Egypt. 📄 hdl.handle.net/10568/178587 #IWD2026 #ForAllWomenAndGirls #WithScienceWeCan @CGIAR @CGIARgender

👨‍🔬 👩‍🔬 When new challenges emerge, from diseases to nutrition needs, scientists return to the @irri genebank to find the traits that can help develop stronger, more resilient rice for the future 🌾 🔬

How do we ensure innovations that are scaling deliver meaningful impact? "When thinking about scaling we need to ask who benefits, and in what way? What has changed for whom? And how have women experienced the changes? "- @CGIARScaling Director Tim Krupnik at #GCWAS2026

Sustainable livestock transformation means better results from farm to market: ✅ healthier diets ✅ better livelihoods ✅ fewer health risks ✅ lower pressure on climate and nature Join the Regional Conference to learn more on this issue 👉 bit.ly/4s59ZEY @FAO @Cirad @CGIAR

Climate action can reduce risk, but only if it accounts for conflict dynamics. Across 30+ African countries, @CGIAR Climate Security trained 1,000+ decision-makers to connect climate governance with security planning. ⏩ Learn more: on.cgiar.org/3OcoW9n
