ICARDA-ARC Egypt 2025 Planning Meeting

With a large and highly urbanized population, high dependence on food imports, and water scarcity, Egypt is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries. For over four decades, ICARDA has worked closely with Egypt’s Agriculture Research Center (ARC) and the government of Egypt to enhance agricultural productivity and build resilience for farmers and communities on the frontline of climate change.

On 17 July, a delegation of ICARDA scientists led by Dr. Aladdin Hamweih, Egypt’s Country Coordinator, convened with ARC officials in Cairo to chart a five-year roadmap of pioneering research and innovation tailored to Egypt’s agricultural challenges and aligned with the country’s national priorities.
