Enjoyed a wonderful farewell celebration at the @CGIAR System Office in Montpellier last week. A big thank you to everyone who came to say goodbye. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you all on #OneCGIAR’s goal to develop resilient agrifood systems and more.

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!
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!

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.
🥔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.
