The development of Bioflow, CGIAR’s open-source breeding analytics pipeline, funded by GIZ through Crops to End Hunger, has never slowed down since its launch last year. Following several hackathons in February 2024 and November 2024, staff from all CGIAR Centers contributed their expertise to the ongoing development of the tool, highlighting the collaborative DNA that underpins its development. Here are

As part of the Facilities Upgrade and Mechanization Improvement, a CGIAR-Crops to End Hunger project funded by Germany through GIZ, the CSIR-Crops Research Institute, Ghana’s leading agricultural research institution, has received a significant boost with the inauguration of a refurbished building. The upgraded facility enhances working space and provides solar-powered cold storage. This system will support the Institute’s storage of
The Crops Research Facility of the Kiboko Research Station, an essential agricultural research station in Makueni County, Kenya, has undergone a significant upgrade. With over $2.5 million in funding from Germany, administered in phases by the Crops to End Hunger (CtEH) program, the facility now features world-class infrastructure and equipment, which will accelerate further crop breeding and strengthen food security
Sustainable agricultural mechanization contributes significantly to the development of value chains and food systems as it has the potential to render pre-planting, postharvest, processing, and marketing activities and functions more efficient, effective, and environmentally friendly. However, to fully realize the benefits of mechanization, proper machinery maintenance is essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance, which is needed for both

A major step in the development of resilient guinea grass – a cornerstone in the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT’s tropical forages breeding program – has been reached with the release of the crop’s reference genome. It was sequenced by Corteva Agriscience using combined Pacbio HiFi, Bionano and Hi-C sequencing technologies and funded by Crops to End Hunger
