Yesterday, our Director @JcRubyogo walked Canada’s Secretary of State thru the power of connected systems. #BRAINSProject 🐝🥑🫘 links research, innovation & impact. Results: farmers to markets, youth-led insect solutions, beyond honey & convenient, nutritious foods.

Canada is partnering with @_PABRA and @icipe to advance climate-smart agriculture and resilient value chains in Africa. I saw firsthand how our support and local ingenuity can strengthen food security, boost farmers’ incomes, and foster trade that benefits both Africa and Canada.

Boosting climate resilience in agric takes joint action. #BRAINSProject is breaking barriers by advancing gender equality across bean, insect & fruit tree value chains. This week in Bafoussam, West Cameroon, couples are jointly building skills for inclusive, climate-smart futures

High heat + humidity🌡️💧are silent enemies of #Beans🫘 - causing discoloration, lowering quality, & market value. In 🇹🇿 Tanzania, even TARI Selian 13 is affected. But science delivers👩🏾‍🔬🌱. Our Breeder Teshale Mamo is advancing promising lines to beat this. #ScienceSolutions

In Tanzania, farmers still rely on old, low-yielding seed varieties of open-pollinated crops (OPVs). The ACCELERATE project is changing this by connecting researchers, traders, and producers to speed up access to climate-ready seeds. 🌱🤝Learn more: allbiociat.org/3OoXg11

One of the most unique stories of impact? The #ACCELERATEProject. From a fragmented seed system & low awareness of improved bean, sorghum & groundnut varieties, to reaching 300,000 farmers. Stronger value chains, Faster #SeedAdoption. Growing agri-businesses. #DemandPull

Making a difference comes in many forms. For @nchanjieileen, it means turning gender evidence into real systemic change—putting marginalized groups at the center of inclusive, resilient agri-futures. She is among Africa’s Most Empowered Women Leaders 👉: bit.ly/3ZHMQvK

Resilience comes from smart tech bundling! In Murang’a 🇰🇪, farmers mix beans + mangoes + IPM, linked to markets & finance. Led by @kalromkulima with @icipe & @BiovIntCIAT_eng via #PABRA, backed by @GAC_Corporate🇨🇦. A 🇨🇦–🇰🇪–🇲🇿 visit saw research → markets → income in action.
