For the past four years, the Alliance has been leading research in Colombia on carbon sequestration in tropical soils to restore soil health, mitigate climate change, and strengthen food security.
CGIAR discusses the impacts of climate change on global food supply chains and why long-term investment in crop science, climate adaptation, and farmer-focused innovation is essential.
A consultation workshop in Vietnam highlighted how digitalizing agricultural mechanization and deploying suitability maps can optimize machinery investment, connect farmers with service providers, and build a unified database to drive the Mekong Delta’s low-emission, modern, and sustainable rice production goals.
At the heart of the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT campus in Palmira, Colombia, a unique opportunity is emerging: transforming a critical challenge into a replicable model of sustainable agriculture for the world.
Communities and countries are banding together to protect local agrobiodiversity, delivering environmental, health, and economic benefits that have far-reaching consequences.
