CGIAR
@cgiar
The world's largest public agricultural innovation network.
El Niño impacts do not happen in isolation. Anna Okello, Director of Food Frontiers and Security, explains why the challenge is not only forecasting climate risks, but ensuring early warnings trigger coordinated action before impacts materialize. 📺 https://on.cgiar.org/4vgWIKw
🇹🇿👩🌾 In Tanzania, Zena Mwimbono shows how women farmers are driving change through innovation, knowledge and resilience. 👉 Read more about @bioversityciat.bsky.social work: https://on.cgiar.org/4pfUmKx
You can't see or taste it, but zinc changes lives 🌾 Around 2 billion people don't get enough. CGIAR, @cimmyt.bsky.social and partner breeders are now building zinc straight into elite wheat, so better nutrition comes baked into the varieties farmers already choose 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/4w0DcDj
🌽🔬 Bringing global agricultural research into focus at #26CFConf Sandra Milach will deliver the Keynote Address at the opening session of the 2026 at Crawford Fund Annual Conference. Register 👉 https://bit.ly/4xprXFs
Protein matters, but the future of food is not about choosing between plant and animal sources. 🌱🫘 At @bioversityciat.bsky.social we work to build food systems that deliver nutrition and sustainability for people and the planet. 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/4gBs6Q7
Across India, women's microenterprises grow fast but earn less than men's. 📊 New @ifpri.org analysis finds food businesses offer women a stronger, more productive path, if policy tackles the barriers they face. Read the full analysis 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/3QtA6Is
El Niño forecasts are only as powerful as the action they trigger. Ahmed Amdihun, Head of DRM programme, ICPAC, shares how regional forecasts are being translated into co-developed advisories to inform national preparedness and contingency plans. 📺 https://on.cgiar.org/4vgWIKw
At @unccd.bsky.social #Cop17Mongolia, CGIAR brings science and practical solutions to land degradation, drought, and restoration. Join us: https://on.cgiar.org/4h03Gjq #UNCCDCOP17
🤝 Partnerships are essential to tackling today’s biggest global challenges. 🎤 At the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, @cgiar-emd.bsky.social highlighted why progress across climate, food security, nutrition and health depends on working across sectors and borders.
🌏 The Philippines is facing rising climate risks from a Super El Niño. 🌐 The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT is turning climate data 📲 into actionable farm advisories for farmers nationwide. 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/3Rj7qlA
🌥️A forecast only matters if someone can act on it. The ENSO Outlook turns El Niño and La Niña signals into practical information farmers, planners and disaster teams can use before droughts or floods hit 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/4yb8wAE @iwmi.bsky.social
📈 🇰🇪 Kenya is scaling community-led Participatory Rangeland Management to 2.4M hectares and 500,000 pastoralists by 2031. CGIAR-backed science is moving from evidence to action. 🐐🍃 Read the feature 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/3ShFoXW #Rangelands #IYRP2026 @ilri.org
Maize is Nepal's second cereal crop, yet the country imports up to 500,000 tons a year. @cimmyt.bsky.social Maize Commercialization Model has scaled from 872 farmers in 2021 to nearly 30,000 across nine districts, lifting yields, incomes and local supply. 🌽 https://on.cgiar.org/4w6ugMj
✍️ A milestone moment for climate action and food security in Africa 🌍 The signing of CGIAR’s first @greenclimate.fund project marks the start of a USD 50 million investment in climate-smart agriculture in Côte d’Ivoire.
🌾 🔬$1.3 trillion in value. 25 million farmers. 300 million+ people eating biofortified foods. 🌍🌾 CGIAR's Global View brief tells the story of what six decades of agricultural research have produced. Full brief: https://on.cgiar.org/4dLPQOo #OneCGIAR #FoodSecurity
In Pakistan's Tharparkar, women walk up to 3 km several times a day to fetch water, and one trip can take 2 hours. New @iwmi.bsky.social research shows how drought falls hardest on women, and what inclusive solutions can change that 💧 https://on.cgiar.org/4erDYkP #WaterSecurity
🌱🐂 Every $1 invested in rangeland restoration can return $4 to $35. CGIAR science shows healthy grasslands are not just nature, they are food security. Read the feature 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/3ShFoXW @ilri.org
🍠 🍌Cassava. Yam. Banana. These crops feed billions across sub-Saharan Africa. Now, thanks to The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), genomics-assisted breeding is accelerating efforts to develop more resilient, higher-yielding varieties🔬 🌱 https://on.cgiar.org/4vzmAlq
🇬🇧 🤝 The challenges facing food systems are global and so are the partnerships needed to solve them. 🎤 During London Climate Action Week, we joined experts to discuss how the UK's scientific leadership and CGIAR's global research network can work together to advance climate resilience.
📣 On 9 June, the Alliance and partners launched the #AgriTech4Egypt consultation in Egypt 🇪🇬🇮🇹, kicking off the next phase of the Egypt–Italy agri-food innovation initiative with 250+ stakeholders across government, research, finance & industry. 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/3QSgJsv
A farmer in Tanzania noticed her maize had turned purple. She'd seen that colour before — and she knew exactly what to do. Read how an international research partnership enables farmers. ➡️ Read the full story https://on.cgiar.org/4fTOuE8 #NLCGIAR #SmallholderFarming #FoodSecurity
💡🧩 Building the partnerships that scale what works: Science & Partnership Week 2027 will connect research, implementation and investment for climate-smart, inclusive food systems. 📍 India | April 2027 📩 Sign up for updates: https://on.cgiar.org/4tuknGo #CGIARScienceWeek #ScienceToImpact
🌊 The ocean is not a postcard. It is a pantry, a workplace, a livelihood for millions. Protection alone is not transformation. Real change means treating the fishers, fish farmers, and women processors as partners in the ocean's recovery 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/4xtGBv8 @worldfish.bsky.social
🌱 At the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, researchers are using controlled growth chambers to help an endangered wild bean species reproduce under conditions that mimic its natural habitat. 👉 Read more: https://on.cgiar.org/4ekowII
At CGIAR, we tackle complex challenges in food and land systems. Delivering science-based solutions at scale is only possible through combined efforts. Explore collaborative science and impact examples in the @bioversityciat.bsky.social 2025 Annual Report. https://allbiociat.org/AR25Partners
🐃🌱 In Vietnam 🇻🇳, research from the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT shows that improved forages are helping farmers keep healthier livestock, reduce labor, and build resilience in challenging upland environments. 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/4ecchhm
A community in Tanzania has managed a voluntary octopus fishing closure since 2017. The results are promising, but the challenges are real. @worldfish.bsky.social shares what it takes to make incentive-based conservation work. 🐙 Read more 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/4ebeJEv
🌪️ Many of the regions most affected by climate change are also leading innovation in resilience and adaptation. Looking forward to sharing lessons and solutions from across the Global South at #LCAW2026. https://on.cgiar.org/4fQvXII #ClimateAction
🏆 Congratulations to the eight CGIAR scientists named to the World Food Prize Foundation's 2026 Top Agri-food Pioneers (TAP) List. 🔬 Their recognition reflects the impact of CGIAR science and the people working every day to transform food, land and water systems 🌱
🔬 🌪️ Climate science means little if the people who need it most cannot understand or act on it. Good science communication connects evidence with lived realities, values local and Indigenous knowledge, and turns research into public conversation 👉 https://on.cgiar.org/4uoKoY6 @iwmi.bsky.social
