In #Ethiopia, two new heat-tolerant #wheat varieties are already making a difference & will diversify the number of adapted wheat varieties in the lowlands and increase yields under irrigation. Thanks ADAPT-Wheat project #InstituteEiar GIZ. #Read: bit.ly/3z9VYQ4

Beautiful wheat field, best-performing CIMMYT lines, modern facilities, and breeding methods at Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research-EIAR Kulumsa research station. I'm so happy 😊 to see my former research station and colleagues. The future looks bright ☀️ for wheat research partnerships!

Thanks for joining #FieldDay2025🌾 at #CENEB in Ciudad Obregon! Over the past five years, #CIMMYT has boosted wheat zinc concentration from 40-45 ppm without compromising yield. This gathering was also a moment to honor contributions that continue to inspire future generations.✨
