CIMMYT is in Bologna this week for #IWC2026Bologna. 🌾

Hybrid wheat, nutrition, breeding for the Global South, our scientists are in those conversations. Stay tuned!

[Bram Govaerts CIMMYT @bramaccimmyt]

Great discussion with @USDA's @LukeJLindberg on the future of agriculture and the real concerns facing American farmers today.

Nearly 60% of U.S. wheat draws on @CIMMYT science, supporting U.S. farmers and competitiveness. Our strongest partnership is with the American people.

We are proud to join @CIMMYT and partners in launching the Global Wheat Health Alliance, a new effort to strengthen disease resistance in wheat and move science from discovery to deployment.

NEW WHEAT PROFIT EPISODE: Due to recent and historical budget cuts to key wheat breeding organizations in Canada, the Canadian Wheat Research Coalition (CWRC) facilitated a review of the wheat breeding system in Canada. In this episode of Wheat Profit, Claire Cowan, Client Director with Synthesis Ag details the findings of the report her team put together after a lengthy review. CWRC chair, Jocelyn Velestuk, describes the farmer impact of budget cuts and the importance of the wheat breeding system not only to Saskatchewan, but to all of Canada. #CdnAg #wheatbreeding #research #westernag #ag @wheat_research @synthesisag @JocVelestuk @ClaireSCowan

Happy to welcome more than 500 students to the CIMMYT campus! Seeing young people explore our labs and learn directly from our experts about the work we do was truly inspiring. 🧪

We are committed to youth engagement, and we look forward to welcoming even more students!
