The first APBA conference will discuss advances in classical breeding and application of modern breeding tools for food and nutrition security in Africa.

Participants will develop enhanced understanding on the locally adapted conservation agriculture-based sustainable intensification principles and practices, application of new tools and techniques, and how to scale appropriate conservation agriculture machinery for diverse production systems, agro-ecologies and farm typologies.

This webinar will share practical approaches to reduce the gender gap in the adoption of improved seed varieties in sub-Saharan Africa.

Jelle Van Loon will participate in two sessions of the UN Climate Change conference in Madrid.

A common forum to discuss plant pathogens, the diseases they cause, the threat they pose to global agriculture, and methods and strategies to combat them.

A unique, hands-on professional development opportunity for early career scientists.

This course deals with the multiple dimensions of conservation agriculture for sustainable intensification: portfolios and machinery; agronomical management and its challenges and advantages; and start-ups and business models for service provision.

Damage from insects and other arthropods costs farmers and consumers many millions of dollars annually. Host-plant resistance is one management tool that can be and has been used to limit damage and loss from pest arthropods. The International Plant Resistance to Insects working group is an affiliation of researchers and practitioners that are advancing the development and use of plants with resistance to insects and other arthropods. The 24th Biannual International Plant Resistance to Insects (IPRI) Workshop will take place…
