In many parts of the developing world, including southern #Ethiopia, small #farm s have gotten smaller. #farmers have responded with 3 broad trajectories, each with specific R&D needs: consolidation, diversification & specialization👉https://t.co/MSuVrqGWgU

Disturbing finding from our @GOAL_Global @CIMMYT dataset freshly compiled. The mean estimated % of #maize yield lost to #fallarmyworm in Chipinge and Makoni #Zimbabwe doubled this year compared to last (from a 11.6% to 22.4%). More investment is needed to fight this pest.

Great mechanization field day today in Mzimba #Malawi with FindYourFeet @DevelopmentFund and @CIMMYT! #africamechanize

Great field day in Nyanga #Zimbabwe on the small mech intervention of @CIMMYT in the @theIRC-led consortium PROGRESS funded by @ZRBFZIM #africamechanize

In #Tanzania, farmers have been adopting insured hybrid maize at the same rate as improved seeds without insurance. When drought struck, farmers who lost everything were able to plant improved seeds again. @FeedtheFuture @ucdavis @CIMMYT #endhunger

How does digging trenches help with a caterpillar that doesn't move between plants? What about crop residue when #FallArmyWorm pupates in the soil and doesn't diapause? Not sure what data was used to produce these recommendations... https://t.co/CERoh670y4

[CIMMYT @CIMMYT]

The #FallArmyworm could lead to up to $6.2 billion a year in #maize losses in just 12 African countries—and has already been reported in over 30. Learn what @USAID @CIMMYT and #CGIARMaize are doing to fight this pest: https://t.co/aAs2nwZ7ym
