Trends in Rainfall and Temperature Extremes in Ethiopia: Station and Agro-Ecological Zone Levels of Analysis
Climate extreme events have been observed more frequently since the 1970s throughout Ethiopia, which adversely affects the socio-economic development of the country, as its economy depends on agriculture, which, in turn, relies heavily on annual...
Wild relatives add significant agronomic improvement and disease resistance to lentils
ICARDA scientists published a new study that analyzes the introduction of two wild lentil taxa, Lens culinaris ssp. orientalis and Lens ervoides, into the backgrounds of cultivated varieties.
ICARDA's Climate Change Advisor, Dr. Roula Majdalani, discusses her professional journey and contributions to climate-related agricultural science and why groundbreaking research is vital to inform policymaking that facilitates the scale-up and adoption of transformative climate-smart approaches.
Bringing Back Food Legumes in Wheat-Based Cropping System in the Highlands of Ethiopia
The Africa RISING project diversifies wheat-based production systems by integrating high yielding and pest resistant food legume crops into the cropping system. Easy access for farmers to quality seeds produced by community seed producers is the key to the project.
