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

@CIMMYT has signed an MoU with @ucdavis under @WorldBankGroup AgriConnect to accelerate nitrogen‑related innovations in wheat. 🌾 With fertilizer costs rising, solutions that reduce reliance on synthetic inputs are critical.

📰 In her latest op-ed, @CGIAR_EMD highlights why investing in agricultural innovation is not just good policy, but a strategic necessity. Food security is national security 👉 on.cgiar.org/4sR3m93

📱 The biggest challenge in digital innovation isn’t just building tools but making them last.🐟 📍 In Timor-Leste, @WorldFishCenter's Peskas has already made the leap, turning years of data into a system that informs real policy and planning 👉 on.cgiar.org/3QA3lZz

🌍 Today is #EarthDay. At @CGIAR we believe that caring for the Earth starts with how we produce our food. 🌱 What we grow and how we grow it shapes our planet, our health, and our future.

🌴 Have you heard of 'chontaduro' (peach palm)? This traditional Colombian crop is seeing its potential rediscovered through @CropTrust's #PowerOfDiversity Funding Facility (PDFF). 🧡 🔎 Learn more: allbiociat.org/42k9Mm6

What does our research at IITA-CGIAR say about maize?  Our breeding efforts are focusing on boosting #maize productivity, #nutrition, and stress resilience using advanced breeding and climate-smart approaches. Scientists at IITA are identifying genetic markers, developing hardy lines, and validating improved varieties that can thrive under heat and drought stress. Some of the varieties developed by our scientists are resistant to pests, diseases, drought, and parasitic weeds.  💡Maize research isn’t just lab work, it is feeding communities and building resilient food systems.

@planttreaty Happy Earth Day!

This Earth Day, remember: every seed holds a story. The International Plant Treaty’s Multilateral System includes 64 of the world’s most important crops, accounting for 80% of the food we derive from plants. Sharing seeds means sharing solutions for a changing planet. 🌍🌎🌏

🇨🇦 Investing in agriculture is not optional. It is essential for resilience, both in Canada and around the world 🌍 🗞️ In an interview with @globeandmail I reflected on how disruptions in the Middle East are putting the most vulnerable at risk 👉 on.cgiar.org/47Isrve

Could games be better tools to collect information and challenge harmful gender norms in food systems? "Card Khullei Kando" co-developed with women farmers in India and board game that comes with it is being used to surface gender norms. 👉 on.cgiar.org/40RZrNB @irri

🌍Strengthening food systems requires coordinated action across sectors, disciplines, and borders. We’re proud to work alongside partners like @CGIAR, driving practical, locally informed solutions that advance One Health and support more resilient communities.
