CGIAR Excellence in Agronomy Initiative

??The CGIAR Excellence in Agronomy recently hosted an insightful seminar titled “A Global Review of Wheat Biofortification.” This seminar provided the results of a global meta-analysis aimed at evaluating how various factors, including agronomic management practices, genetic variations, and biophysical environments affect both the yield and nutritional quality of wheat. Did you miss the seminar? you can catch up on the in-depth discussions and presentations by watching the video here??: https://buff.ly/41329B9 #EiAInitiative #WheatResearch #NutritionalQuality #AgronomicManagement #Biofortification #FoodSecurity #Zinc #Iron, #Protein #Agriculture #GlobalHealth #SustainableFarming #CropGenetics #MetaAnalysis #HumanNutrition #HealthyGrains #EiA #CGIAR

Commemorating the 2024 World Soil Day 5th December 2024. Kindly accept my invitation to contribute to the discussion on How to effectively engage the National Agricultural Research Systems in the Implementation of the "Soil Initiative for Africa" The webinar tagged " Casting the Vision for Soil Initiative for Africa for National Actors Response. It is jointly organized by the SIA secretariat in FARA, the Africa Chapter of the Global Soil Platform, Soil Science Society of Africa.

Did you know that over two billion people worldwide suffer from malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in low-income regions? ?? Biofortification offers a transformative solution by increasing the nutrient concentration of staple crops through targeted agronomic practices. This approach can help combat hidden hunger, which disproportionately impacts communities that depend on cereal staples. By naturally enriching crops with essential vitamins and minerals, we can significantly improve public health. However, to unlock the full potential of biofortification, we must tackle challenges like balancing yield with nutrient density and utilizing precision agriculture effectively. ??
