Over the past 50 years, CGIAR research has shaped how food systems are understood and transformed. This blog distils key insights from that body of work and what they mean for addressing today’s food, climate, and development challenges.
Solving invasive species (and other) problems with fun and games. Innovative games and simulations are helping researchers and practitioners address invasive species and other complex environmental problems. This blog explores how CGIAR and partners use serious games to support learning, decision-making, and collective action.
Many studies have demonstrated that low application of productivity-enhancing inputs such as inorganic fertilizer and improved seeds is a key constraint to low agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria.
Two panicum grass varieties Chano (Panicum maximum Jack) and Gardula (Dichanthelium latifolium) have been released for cultivation in Southern and Central Ethiopia.
Five-day hands-on training equips scientists from Asia and Africa with practical genomics skills to improve the use of germplasm for breeding and food security.
After Cyclone Idai, women in rural Zimbabwe carry the hidden cost of recovery. This blog reveals how unpaid care work expands under climate stress, shaping food security, time poverty, and women’s everyday survival.
Climate security is shaped by complex, local interactions. Drawing on leading researchers, this blog explores how climate stress, conflict, data gaps, and system dynamics are reshaping how we study risk, resilience, and peace.
India stands at a critical juncture in its agricultural transformation. With over 60% of the population dependent on agrifood systems for their livelihoods and the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector accounting for 14% of the country’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the challenge is no longer a choice between agricultural and economic growth and sustainability, but the need to find a pathway that ensures agricultural growth and livelihoods while increasing the sustainability of the country’s food production systems.
