I always say that joining @CGIAR feels like coming home - I did my PhD with @ICARDA and @CIMMYT . So that's especially true on my first visit to a CGIAR center as EMD. Thank you @ICARDA colleagues for the warm welcome!

Small-scale farmers are responsible for up to 70% of food produced in low- and middle-income countries – but receive less than 1% of climate finance. Don’t miss this article by @IFADPresident for @WEF .

Why small-scale farmers can teach us a lot about climate change

World leaders signed a landmark declaration at COP28 to help protect farmers and pledged over $2.5 billion to support food security and climate action.

If the impacts of climate change make plants less nutritious, this could be catastrophic for nutrition. We need to breed plants that are resilient to higher CO2 and temperatures we’re going to see.
