Congrats @JulianCIAT and team to have our strategic paper for our Resilient AgriFood Systems #RAFS livestock research work published @CGIAR @ILRI #LivestockClimate

[Julian R-V @JulianCIAT]

🌍 🌍 Addressing the climate crisis requires a paradigm shift in the global livestock sector. @CGIAR's #LivestockClimate paper shows how strategic investments in 5 countries can make a huge impact for Earth & people. 👉https://t.co/E4JZxoDQr5

[Christian Thierfelder @BusyBeeChris]

Inaugurated by the Minister of Agriculture and highly applauded by, @KropffMartin , #3ACCA is taking off in #Rabat. "Conservation Agricultural can make a huge difference in Africa"! I could not agree more.

@ACTillage @CGIAR @CIMMYT @IWMI_SouthernZA @Inga_JM @FAOZambia @FAO

[MartinKropff @KropffMartin]

An inspiring conference and very coherent presentations in the opening session with the Hon. MoA of Morocco, @UNFAO @BethBechdol @CGIAR and other colleagues. We need science and evidence based solutions! It was an honor to be in the session!

[Beth Bechdol @BethBechdol]

A fantastic day in #Rabat with partners & colleagues ...

Conservation Agriculture & Sustainable Mechanization together are powerful tools to build a resilient future for African agriculture, especially for women and youth.

We can produce more with less!

[Lindiwe Majele Sibanda @lmsibanda]

Africa is in a race against time on #foodsecurity, and we know that getting the right technologies to African farmers at scale is key to delivery impact on #SDG2. It was a pleasure to share @CGIAR’s research and innovation in this area at the @AfDB_Group’s Annual Meeting.

[MartinKropff @KropffMartin]

Thanks for sharing, @EnockChikava. @CGIAR’s work on developing #climatesmart crop varieties is an important part of its systems approach to building resilience in agrifood systems.

[Enock Chikava @EnockChikava]

🥔Potatoes – nutritious & drought-tolerant!
@CGIAR & @Cipotato recognized the value of potatoes & are working to improve varieties. Adaptation is key to resilience & we must provide tools for smallholder farmers to adapt to #ClimateChange.

The Food Systems Accelerator Program, an agribusiness support program within #UkamaUstawi, is one of the few accelerator programs in Africa focusing on the scaling of #climatesmart innovations that have the potential to create real impact on the ground. https://t.co/RqkwJE9ePJ
