🌍🍽️ Can we feed everybody?

CGIAR’s @lmsibanda joined @AlexAwiti & Sieglinde Snapp on @BBCWorldService's CrowdScience show at #CGIARScienceWeek to explore sustainable farming solutions.

The episode will be available from 25 April: https://t.co/KAVm9xWt9g

Climate action launch @CGIAR #ScienceWeek If not now, then when? bridging local knowledge, grassroots action and science for action! Farmer oriented decision guides, business unusual and participatory action research needs to lead the way. Let's get all the voice at the table.

#Savesoil!! @CIFOR_ICRAF Fabulous and needed call for action on soil health scaling at #IFA @lawinowiecki my Shero! Evidence base, public private civil society partnerships and invest in soils where RoI merits so geotargeting and citizen science are key

📢📢 HOTP: We assess the impacts of #CSA on livelihoods using a meta-analysis of peer reviewed 📝s.
▶️ we find +ve associations with crop & household incomes & food security, but not poverty reduction
⏩️ there is need to bundle #CSA w other options

Carbon farming, in which cultivation is aimed at lowering emissions or improving carbon sequestration, inadvertently excluded small landholding farmers, finds a study @AdeethCariappa @CIMMYT

🌱 Our Agronomist, Mahdi DAHANE, participated in the 13th Advanced International Course on Conservation & Regenerative Agriculture, organized by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), ICAR - Indian Council of Agricultural Research, and the Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA), in India.

📚 This intensive training brought together agronomists, soil scientists, and researchers in a collaborative learning environment. The program covered key aspects of conservation agriculture, including no-tillage systems, residue management, crop rotation, and precision nutrient management. Hands-on sessions featured cutting-edge technology demonstrations, such as machinery calibration, drone-based spraying, and soil quality monitoring.

@aruhweza @vanessainafrica @AGRA_Africa Dear Alice What a wonderful appointment such great news they are so lucky to get you - congrats!!!

[Food Tank @foodtank]

What resources do farmers need to grow resilient crops and support soil health? What will an additional climate shock will do to a fragile food and agricultural system like the one we have today?

Inspiring to learn about public, private and civilsociety efforts to future proof farming systems through farmer-conserved and gene banks diversity are broadening options for #agroecology to
empower #farmer agency thanks for inspiration @kewgardens and #Ethiopia
