A powerful meeting in #Karnataka advanced climate resilient agriculture!🌾
#CIMMYT and state leaders explored ways to boost farmer resilience with stress tolerant maize, regenerative agriculture and digital tools.
We are turning #science into #impact 🔬
What happens when farmers drive the demand? 🌱
#CIMMYT is seeing it firsthand in Niassa, Mozambique, where 113 farmer groups are testing improved seed and learning to access quality suppliers.
Growing demand is energizing local actors and building stronger seed markets. 🌾🤝
A new era for crop improvement is taking root in #Senegal 🌱 #CIMMYT and partners opened a greenhouse in Bambey to speed breeding of resilient dryland crops across West and Central Africa 🌍 Boosting science and supporting farmers.
