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

El Niño forecasts are only as powerful as the action they trigger. @aamdihun from @IGAD_CPAC, shares how regional forecasts are being translated into co-developed advisories to inform national preparedness and contingency plans. 📺 on.cgiar.org/4vgWIKw

At @UNCCD @Cop17Mongolia, @CGIARenviro brings science and practical solutions to land degradation, drought, and restoration. Join us: on.cgiar.org/4h03Gjq #UNCCDCOP17

🤝 Partnerships are essential to tackling today’s biggest global challenges. 🎤 At the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, @CGIAR_EMD highlighted why progress across climate, food security, nutrition and health depends on working across sectors and borders.

More resilient potatoes 🥔. Stronger seed systems 🌱. Greater food security. Mozambique has released five new potato varieties with higher yields and improved resistance to key diseases, supporting farmers and national production. 👉🏽 bit.ly/MZ-PotatoVarie… 🔸 @CGIAR

When global oil prices surged this year, many people assumed African countries would all be affected in the same way. An analysis across dozens of African countries shows that in the case of the Iran war, the same shock has produced sharply different outcomes for domestic fuel and food markets IFPRI's @kkosec breaks down these findings.

What does an age of permanent emergency mean for development strategy, policy, and research, and for the lives of billions in the path of various crises? @swomamo argues that ensuring continuity is key to sustained growth even when shocks occur. 👉 on.cgiar.org/4ycCfJd @CGIAR

Policy coherence is widely recognized as essential for achieving food systems transformation, but attempts to assess food systems policy coherence have been limited to date in terms of their scope of topics and geographies and lack of comparable methods. In this #OpenAccess study, researchers present a new tool for assessing food systems policy coherence. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.food… @CGIAR @D_E_Resnick

As the global population continues to grow, producing enough nutritious food is more important than ever.  IITA's improved yam varieties are helping farmers produce more while delivering the quality consumers value. By combining higher productivity with desirable nutritional and processing traits, these innovations contribute to more sustainable food systems capable of feeding growing populations.  This World Population Day, let's recognize the role of agricultural research in building a food-secure future.  Learn more:  cgiar.org/news-events/ne…   @CGIAR @IITARWANDA @benin_iita @IITA_Uganda @IITARWANDA @iitatv @RadioIITA #WithScienceWeCan #IITAResearch #FoodSecurity #IITAMandateCrops #IITAYamMonth

Most African countries depend on imported fuel, which leaves them exposed to shocks they cannot control, such as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The same chokepoints carry imported fertilizer, compounding the dependence. Learn more about how African countries are managing these shocks and what they could mean for food prices 👉 on.cgiar.org/4wBcuB3 @CGIAR @IFPRI_Africa @kkosec @KibromAbay
