Crop Diversity is a foundation for: 🥗 food and nutrition security 🧑‍🍳 balanced and nutritious diets 🌿crops resilient to pests and diseases 🚜 strengthening livelihoods of farmers Learn more about why we need to protect #cropdiversity ➡️ buff.ly/3I65tzO

🌱 With support from the #BOLDcwr project, the National Genebank of Egypt recently hosted a field day at Gemiza Station. The event focused on promoting the use of melon and pea genetic resources and fostering collaboration among researchers, breeders, and farmers. 🌾🤝

📢Coming Soon Next week, key talks will focus on strengthening the Multilateral System of access & Benefit-sharing. Greater crop diversity means stronger food security, with farmers leading the way💪🏾 bit.ly/3XlC1Om #ItAllStartsWithTheSeed🌱 Earth Negotiations Bulletin The Crop Trust

En el IBMCP y en concreto en mi grupo de investigación, procuramos una agricultura más respetuosa con el medio que dé como resultado una mayor producción de calidad, con el menor uso de insumos agrícolas. #biostimulantes #toleranciaaestres #DiaMundialDeLaAgricultura 👩🏼‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾🚜🍅🥦🥑

Kick-off meeting de nuestro proyecto nacional AGL2023 #LocalWHEAT

🎥Watch Béla Bartha, Pro Specie Rara, explain why his organisation is part of the project & why it is important to bridge the gap between the genebanks & the broader public. 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=RRjeg2… #PlantGeneticResources #cropbiodiversity #researchinfrastructure

We need more investments in #genebanks to build an efficient global system of conservation to drive the #foodsystems transformation by engaging farmers and developing more resilient crop varieties - Stefan Schmitz at the #Tropentag24 panel "Genetic resources and genebanks"

#DYK that sorghum is the fifth most important grain crop globally and a staple food for millions in Africa and South Asia? ICRISAT plays a key role in global #sorghum research, developing high-yielding, resilient, and nutritious varieties to support farmers worldwide.

In early September, the students of Intake 3 had their orientation week at UPV, where they were welcomed by the academic director of the master's program, Mrs. Ana M. Fita. They had three days filled with activities and discoveries.

New publication from our lab! We’ve identified key QTLs in eggplant under low nitrogen conditions, offering insights for developing more sustainable cultivars. Check it out: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #PlantScience #SustainableAgriculture

Great to share our collaborative progress on #lentil breeding at BELIS Project annual meeting ICARDA IAS-CSIC
