We were honored to host Hon. Ram Nath Adhikari, Minister of Agriculture & Livestock Development of Nepal, and his delegation at #CIMMYT. Their visit highlighted the potential of adapting CIMMYT's MasAgro model for Nepal, focusing on sustainable agriculture, climate resilience, and agribusiness innovation.🌱🌏 This collaboration aims to drive impactful, inclusive solutions that enhance #foodsecurity and empower #farming communities. #CIMMYT #SustainableAgriculture #GlobalPartnership #Nepal

🌾In #Bihar, where rain-fed agriculture sustains many families, #droughts severely challenge traditional farming. #CIMMYT-led CSISA recently surveyed 857 farmers to understand the impact of the 2022-23 drought on practices and livelihoods, highlighting the need for adaptive, #climateresilient solutions. Farmers like Magni Singh and Shanti Devi shared their struggles, underscoring the urgency of policies that support sustainable practices under extreme conditions. This research offers critical insights for building resilience in drought-prone areas. 👉 Learn more: https://bit.ly/3O9j0ul

🤝Collaborative partnerships, such as those fostered by #CIMMYT, are vital for strengthening Zimbabwe’s agricultural #resilience. At the recent Steering Committee meeting chaired by Prof. O. Jiri, Permanent Secretary of Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Rural Development, key insights emerged: • Engaging policymakers with actionable, context-driven science. • Integrating indigenous knowledge with conventional climate services. • Fostering local innovations to bolster resilience. • Sustained collaboration with government to inspire ongoing interest and support. • Ensuring all research is rooted in farmers' realities. Together, we’re driving forward farmer-centered research to meet real-world needs 🌍 #RAIZProject

🌾 A powerful message from Bram Govaerts, CIMMYT's DG, at the 3rd International Wheat Congress in Perth, Australia. He emphasized the critical role of international collaboration within the global wheat community to strengthen food security and nutrition. 🌍 Key takeaway? Ensuring global food security requires us to: - Develop resilient, disease-resistant wheat varieties 🌱 - Establish minimum standards for nutritional quality in wheat, like the zinc-enriched varieties now benefiting millions in Pakistan 💪 - Build resilient, data-driven systems to respond to climate and economic shocks 📊 Watch the full video to hear all the insights and learn how we can all contribute to a food-secure future! https://lnkd.in/gH5vdV4D #WheatForAll #GlobalFoodSecurity #CIMMYT

Earlier today at #COP29, #CIMMYT’s Tek Sapkota joined a high-level roundtable with H.E. President Taye Atske Selassie of Ethiopia, H.E. Mette Frederiksen of Denmark, and H.E.
