Description:

CIMMYT spatial economist studies how economic behavior varies across diverse geographical contexts, how smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa are evolving, and the need to revisit agricultural resources and policies accordingly. Sustainable farming method can increase resilience to climate change, protect biodiversity and sustainably use natural resources. CIMMYT puts forward integrated systems, healthy diets and One CGIAR agronomic innovation at first-ever virtual edition of the African Green Revolution Forum. Researchers in Zambia confirm the arrival of this devastating fungal disease to the African continent. COVID-19 update The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is responding to the threat of COVID-19 and taking measures to ensure all our staff worldwide stays safe and healthy. We continue to perform field and desk research, to the extent allowed by this new situation, and we continue to share our progress and findings.At times like this, we step back and focus on our vision: a world with healthier and more prosperous people — free from the threat of global food crises — and with more resilient agri-food systems.We would not be able to pursue this vision without your support. We look forward to continuing our collaboration.As specified in the Code of Conduct, CIMMYT prohibits intimidation, harassment or discrimination based on an individual’s characteristics, which includes people affected by COVID-19. About CIMMYTFor over 50 years, we’ve been using science to make a difference, helping tens of millions of farmers grow more nutritious, resilient and productive maize and wheat cropping systems, using methods that nourish the environment and combat climate change.Our Strategy | Annual ReportsResearch ThemesCapacity buildingFood securityGender Social InclusionHealth and nutritionInnovation and technologyClimate changeLatest news Sustainable farming method can increase resilience to climate change, protect biodiversity and sustainably use natural resources.

Strong partnerships key to making healthy diets affordable and meeting global nutrition challenges, says CIMMYT researcher Natalia Palacios at 2020 African Green Revolution Forum. New project will research and promote the adoption of sustainable farming method and practices. External review confirms the impact and achievements of the CGIAR Research Program on Wheat and its vital partnerships. A new quantitative genetics study makes a strong case for the yield testing strategies CIMMYT uses in its wheat breeding program.

Income-generating benefits of improved maize varieties hampered by patriarchal gender norms in rural Nigeria. Trial results highlight the long-term benefits of conservation agriculture-based weed management. A new policy brief provides a roadmap for accelerating the adoption of conservation agriculture in Eastern India.
