In sub-Saharan Africa, 50% face food insecurity—only 20% access improved crop varieties
At #ADCIN & @cimmyt.bsky.social, we're closing the gap by building crop networks, advancing @cgiar.org -#NARES programs & strengthening capacity
From 50/20 to 100% impact
🔗 hdl.handle.net/10883...
At #ADCIN, co-advancement means combining data science, genomics, & regional partnerships.
With #NARES & @cgiar.org, we’re:
🔹 Using breeding informatics
🔹 Applying marker panels & pangenomes
🔹 Introducing sparse testing
All to accelerate genetic gain for #DrylandCrops.
At #ADCIN, co-innovation means action.
With #NARES & @cgiar.org, we’re building crop resilience through regional plant health expertise.
📍 What does this look like?
🔬 47 screening sites
🦠 17 biotic stresses
🌱 3,200+ germplasm lines
Local expertise = faster, smarter breeding for real impact.
At #ADCIN, we co-develop breeding pipelines from the very start at population development with #NARES & @cgiar.org partners.
One example?
📊 BP00148 (OPV sorghum):
🔹 ZARI: 2,820 lines
🔹 EIAR: 2,820 lines
🔹 CIMMYT: 3,760 lines
➡️ 80 populations, 7,000+ new lines co-developed for regional impact
#ADCIN is redefining dryland crop improvement through shared leadership & co-design.
With #NARES and @cgiar.org partners, we’ve built:
🔹 28 breeding pipelines
🔹 48 development centers
🔹 2,000+ candidates
🔹 160 test sites
#DrylandCrops
Scientists from #NARES & @cimmyt.bsky.social recently toured Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique & Tanzania under the CtEH project, reviewed upgrades & harmonized trial protocols for #groundnuts.
Strong collaboration, field training & data quality were key highlights.

Ten listening to Nares words of advice after being fed up with losing is so sweet! ☺️ ❤️💛 #Ten #Nares #Farmagia #HiroMashima
They’ve got such a big sister-little brother dynamic! 🥺
Still going through Farmagia, but wow Nares is so stunning, and I love her personality and demeanor! 😊💛🗡️ #Nares #Farmagia #HiroMashima
