In the rural communities of Matagalpa, Jinotega and Nueva Segovia, amidst mist-covered mountains and the aroma of freshly roasted coffee, thousands of Nicaraguan producers are transforming their relationship with the land.
The Alliance, the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture, and regional partners held a forage field event on November 10, 2025 in Sidama, Ethiopia, showcasing how improved forage innovations are helping farmers boost productivity, build climate resilience, and scale sustainable agriculture.
Farmers, researchers, and counties in Nakuru introduced gender-transformative innovation bundles to boost yields and equality. Launched recently, the approach works because it tackles farming and social barriers together, improving resilience and decision-making.
Through hands-on research, mentorship, and collaboration, the PISA unit is helping emerging scientists turn ideas into evidence and evidence into impact for sustainable food systems. At the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, the path from data to impact is also a path of learning.
Industrial agriculture drives global warming, biodiversity loss and and inequality: the world produces enough food for everyone but the global food system left 670 million people hungry in 2024. Is agroecology a solution? The debate heats up.
A new system could overhaul maps that misclassify hundreds of thousands of smallholder coffee and cacao farmers as working in forests. Without better maps, deforestation regulations could ripple through markets from remote farms to a caffe mocha near you. Sample Earth, launched by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, helps mapmakers build accurate, inclusive maps to prevent smallholder farmers from being wrongly classified as producing major
In a previous blog, we explored what Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are, and why they are essential for global climate action. Here we take a deeper look at one of the most strategic and vulnerable sectors in the face of climate change: agriculture and livestock production. In this blog, we explain how adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector
Bundling technical innovations with gender equality is transforming smallholder farming in Kenya’s semi-arid regions, boosting yields by 80% while empowering women farmers. In the drought-prone landscapes of Makueni County, Kenya, farming communities are not just approaching farming with better seeds or climate-smart techniques but also addressing social inequalities alongside agronomic challenges. For decades, agricultural development programs have focused on single-technology
