(Online)Global Resilience: Science, Epidemics, and the Future of the Wheat Community
Global Resilience: Science, Epidemics, and the Future of the Wheat Community
Experts, practitioners and policymakers will showcase scientific findings and innovative nature-based solutions, policies, and practices using agrobiodiversity that can make our food systems more sustainable.
The Basic Wheat Improvement Course provides an overview of basic concepts in genetics, conventional breeding, statistics, plant physiology and pathology, as well as the integration of new technologies into breeding pipelines.
A panel of experts will analyze the increase of agricultural commodity prices and fertilizer prices, in the context of the crisis in Ukraine, and compared to earlier price spikes in 2007/08 and 2010/11.
The initiative aims to protect agriculture-based economies of low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America from devastating pest incursions and disease outbreaks.
The AGRF, Africa’s premier forum for driving the food and agriculture agenda in the continent, will host its 12th annual summit under the theme Grow. Nourish. Reward – Bold Actions for Resilient Food Systems.
The theme of the 2nd IWC is Future Wheat: Resilience and Sustainability and will provide excellent opportunities for participants from around the world to share the latest progress and to develop recommendations for future wheat in terms of research, technology, and transfer.
Cornell, together with CIMMYT, presents advanced wheat improvement course.
The Conference will convene countries from around the world to discuss global scientific, technical and regulatory issues related to plant health aiming to contribute to a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, amongst other objectives.
Cereal nematodes, including both the Cereal Cyst Nematodes (Heterodera spp.; CCNs) and the Root Lesion Nematodes (Pratylenchus spp.; RLNs), are acknowledged as a global economic problem on wheat production systems in developing as well as in developed countries. The International Cereal Nematodes Symposium (ICNS) aims to create a critical mass of scientific capacity and skills to deliver sustainable solutions by working at both the practical and theoretical level.
The Agriculture Network invites researchers, staff and members of CGIAR to join a networking webinar on October 5.
Join a free virtual session organized by the CGIAR Research Initiatives on Plant Health and on Climate Resilience, which is an official side event of the FAO Science and Innovation Forum.
This year’s theme, “Feeding a Fragile World,” focuses on overcoming pervasive shocks to the global food system.
This event will provide a timely update on durum wheat multidisciplinary research towards a more sustainable and resilient durum wheat chain capable of enhancing food security while providing more nutritious grain and a healthier diet.
The CGIAR Initiative, Transforming Agrifood Systems in South Asia (TAFSSA), is launching a new series of webinars on food security in South Asia.
