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

#News #PressRelease @ICRISAT and @CIMMYT Launch New Initiative to Fast-Track Climate-Resilient Crops for Dryland Farmers in Africa and India with support from @novonordiskfond pressroom.icrisat.org/icrisat-and-ci…

🐚Shellfish gathered mostly by women sustain food security across the Pacific—yet often go uncounted. A new story from @nfp_sdg2’s #NLCGIAR series shows how long‑term research partnerships are helping make these “forgotten fisheries” visible. lnkd.in/eCsE76xD

🌍 Food systems are under pressure from conflict, climate shocks, and rising costs. 🌱 It’s no longer just about how much we produce, but what we grow and how resilient it is. Discover the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT scientists’ take: 👉 on.cgiar.org/4tpUNC8

Without reliable and representative data, AI risks reinforcing bias and missing the realities faced by vulnerable populations. Investing in data infrastructure should be a priority for development research. 🧠📚🌐 🖋️ By @leightjessica & Kalle Hirvonen 🆕 on the IFPRI #Blog: on.cgiar.org/4tAoYH7 @CGIAR

Quality seed is the foundation of food security. The #ZimbabweSeedSummit will bring together stakeholders to shape resilient seed systems for climate-smart agriculture and sustainable food production. 📅19–21 May 2026 📍 Harare #ZimSeedSummit #EngageTAAT to #FeedAfrica #EngageTAAT to #Scale4Impact @AfDB_Group @Groupe_AfDB @gatesfoundation @GatesAfrica @CGIAR @CGIARScaling @IITA_CGIAR @MoLAFWRD_Zim @HeraldZimbabwe @NewsDayZimbabwe @ZiFMStereo @BusinessTimesZW @ZiFMStereoNews @ZBCNewsonline @ChronicleZim @SundayMailZim @farmshopZW @SeedCoZimbabwe @PrimeSeedco @FarmersAfric @ZimTradeAlerts

🌾 7 African crops. 5x faster genetic gains. A market-first breeding approach. Bringing finger millet, amaranth, okra, sesame, pigeon pea, Bambara groundnut and taro into the heart of food security research. @CIMMYT @IFAD Full story 👉 on.cgiar.org/4nmcL7b

Our 2025 Impact Summary is here! We’re bridging the gap between science & policy in 71 countries. Watch for highlights! Report: hdl.handle.net/10568/182578 @CGIAR

Strong partnerships are key to transforming innovation into real-world impact. 🌴 At the Consortium for Red Palm Weevil Control (C4RPWC) side event during the 8th International Date Palm Conference, Dr. Augusto Becerra, DDGR, ICARDA, highlighted the importance of working closely with farmers to test, validate, and scale practical solutions for Red Palm Weevil management. Led by ICARDA under @CGIAR, the consortium is advancing coordinated science-based action with support from UAE and the @GatesFoundation. 👉 icarda.org/media/news/ica…

Farmers cannot wait years for climate-resilient crops while drought, heat, and crop diseases threaten food security and livelihoods across Africa and India’s drylands. Funded by @novonordiskfond, the landmark ICRISAT–@CIMMYT initiative with partners will harness AI and frontier science to dramatically accelerate improved crop varieties for millions of smallholder farming communities, strengthening food security and resilience in the face of climate change. #FoodSecurity #ClimateAction @KALRO, @UQ_News, @TanzaniaTari, @icarindia @CGIAR @CGIARbreeding Read more: pressroom.icrisat.org/icrisat-and-ci…

How do we transform crop production? By empowering the people behind the crops! Recently, #TAAT joined the @minagri_rdc & ELIKYA in Kinshasa to train 60+ stakeholders at COOPACEK. We focused on: 🍅 Climate-resilient seeds 🥬 Tech for #amaranth, #tomatoes, #spinach & #okra 🔄 Safe and sustainable crop protection Transforming food systems to #FeedAfrica! #TAATinDRCongo #AgTech #EngageTAAT #Scale4Impact @AfDB_Group @Groupe_AfDB @gatesfoundation @GatesAfrica @CGIAR @CGIARScaling @IITA_CGIAR @WorldVegCenter

🌍🌱 Agri‑food systems face complex social, ecological, economic and political challenges. 💡This study explores how systems thinking is understood applied within @CGIAR, and why stronger systems literacy is needed to support food system transformation. 🔗 allbiociat.org/42wDDrS

Markets can predict food insecurity as reliably as rainfall. @CGIAR researchers used machine learning to analyze 1,414 @FEWSNET reports across 33 countries and found that food prices appeared in 95% of reports documenting food insecurity. ➡️ Learn more: on.cgiar.org/3Pn4FPb

📢 Here’s proof that it works! Farmers and businesses are already seeing results: ●🍅 More production ●📉 Less losses ●💰 More income 💡 With the right tools, agriculture becomes a real business opportunity. 👉 Why not you?
