In a visit by USAID and CIMMYT, cutting-edge agricultural approaches in Bangladesh highlighted the power of combining technological innovations, climate-focused practices, and community power.

In collaboration with ZARI and other partners, CIMMYT brought together wheat scientists, researchers, academics, policymakers, and extension agents to address the urgent threat of wheat blast across borders.

Through its work in South Asia, TAFSSA contributes to developing more sustainable and equitable agrifood systems for smallholder farmers in the region.

Wheat researchers, government extension agents, and policy makers gather in Bangladesh to develop their skills in pathology, breeding, agronomy, integrated disease management and agricultural extension technologies.

Delegates travelled to South Asia to witness the success of a collaboration which is combatting wheat blast disease in Bangladesh and for other wheat growing nations.

Collaborative project between CGIAR research centers aiming to improve food security in South Asia launches in three countries.

The developments will create capacity for national and international research and improve processes for disease screening in wheat.
