Deep Regenerative ag/agroecology what works where and challenges…Can we move beyond short term visions and projects? How to support co-creation enabling environments and #farmeragency ? Oscar Ortiz CIMMYT sustainable sourcing finding new ways #impactmatters
Excited to be this week in Nairobi (Rockefeller Foundation workshop) discussing important topics related to regenerative agriculture, agroecology, field, farm and landscape management towards sustainable farming CGIAR Excellence in Agronomy The Rockefeller Foundation
In Zimbabwe, the #CGIAR #Agroecology Initiative 🇿🇼 and Kenya 🇰🇪 teams having conversations exchanging knowledge towards transitioning to agroecology. #SustainableAgriculture #Agroecology

CGIAR #AgroecologyInitiative cross learning event between 🇰🇪 and 🇿🇼 WP1. Happy to have Frédéric Baudron presenting about data systems for agroecology. Open learning platforms can drive innovations.
Successful workshop on #LearningLandscapes ! Refining approaches for collaborative, climate-conscious, and data-driven #AgrifoodSystems in the face of a changing & uncertain future: #InnovativeStrategies . #Learningscapes #InnovativSolutions . Thank you everyone!
I was truly delighted to see the substantial presence of women at the CIMMYT SAS program Africa Strategy 2030 conference in Nairobi last week! It underscores our progress towards inclusivity and diversity. #WomenInScience #InclusiveLeadership #EmpowerWomen
#pause &reflect is key! making time for strategy 2030 implementation #sustainableagrifoodsystems in Africa @cimmyt inspiring to see emerging research leaders spread their wings. The challenges are great, taking it to the farmer through #openscience #solidarity PPP a must
#ElNiño is challenging both Southern & Northern🇿🇲, with varying degrees in intensity. Read how the #SIFAZ Project & the #UkamaUstawi CGIAR Initiative are facing it, & how using adaptive strategies can bring a resilient future for farmers. #WorldWaterDay bit.ly/4a4fQl8
Nutritious maize, breeding for pest and stress tolerance, and CA for soil health through mechanization - the future is here at the CIMMYT Partner day in #zimbabwe . #impact matters resilient options for #farmeraction in a #climateemergency drought busters!
For a country hard hit by #ElNiño the adoption of climate-smart technologies as promoted by #SIFAZ and #UUInnitiative in #Zambia are a must!

#GatesAgOne is committed, as we are, to serving the priorities of smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Thanks for allowing us to share with you our #CIMMYT2030 Strategy and have a dialogue on future potential.
Today we implement #Mixedfarmingsystems initiative joint partners CIMMYT Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT IITA with DARS & DAES field day in Mthunthama, Kasungu Malawi showcasing sustainable intensification and deliberate #systems approach. Diversification options towards #resilience
Indeed let’s stand in solidarity with people most affected by this drought. As a response to crop failure these communities 🇿🇲are turning to eating roots & wild plants to #survive . More reason for #AnticipatoryAction that puts #watersecurity at the centre. #FCMInitiative JC Sanchez
