Job opportunity- please share!🚨I am hiring a post doc to join my applied wheat research team here at K-State! We are looking for someone with experience with molecular diagnostic tools to work on an important issue for the wheat industry: careers.k-state.edu/cw/en-us/job/5…

Our new open access publication in Human Ecology recaps forage seed projects over several decades, and zooms in on the impact of institutions on seed networks. #Philippines #Vietnam #Seed link.springer.com/article/10.100…

RootsTubersBananas Breeding Webinar on "Tapping into the genetic diversity of RTB crops in their hotspot’s areas for a more resilient food system."🥔🍠🍌 Join Erik Delaquis @[email protected] and Stef de Haan share five main lessons learnt from the work led in Peru on on-farm conservation of cassava and potato landraces!

#COVID19 makes regional collaboration challenging with closed international borders. Big congrats to our Lao 🇱🇦 & Cambodian 🇰🇭 colleagues who successfully moved disease-free #cassava stems from #NAFRI #FUTURESTEMS in Laos to #GDAs new #rapidmultiplication center. ACIAR

RTB scientists are developing baselines of #cropdiversity and providing support to farmers who conserve vulnerable landraces. Baselines are necessary to identify vulnerable varieties and track their status.

New nature paper shows that from 2003 to 2019, cropland area increased by 9%, crop production by 25%, primarily due to ag expansion in Africa & South America. Half of the new cropland area (49%) replaced natural vegetation & tree cover. A wake up call! nature.com/articles/s4301…

Fantastic to see this getting off the ground... my colleague Peter Wenzl on the grand opening of our new gene bank. #biodiversity #Seeds

Great to see #cassava rapid multiplication system (in vitro, tunnel and field) at #CARDI, #Cambodia gaining momentum. @CAVAC ACIAR Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT CassavaDiseaseSolutionsAsia

S.SopheaRith explaining the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT #cassava rapid multiplication #tunnel system to participants at the ACIAR GIZ supported field day. Looking forward to expanding the network!

The #cassava program at Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT is a #multidisciplinary team that come together around emerging challenges and opportunities for the co-creation of #innovative solutions with #partners. Proud to be part of the team!

Our tools for detecting and analyzing virus communities (viromes) keep getting better. What challenges and opportunities does this open in agricultural landscapes?
