Every year after the rice harvest in South Asia, a vast area of over 15 million hectares lies idle (fallow) until the next rice planting season several months later. Scientists in countries like Bangladesh, India and Nepal think the fallow land could, and should, be used for additional crops that increase farmer incomes and food security.

In June, CGIAR tasked ICARDA to coordinate a series of workshops with key partners and stakeholders to understand what knowledge, partnerships, tools, innovative R4D programs, and synergies with existing initiatives, are critically required for climate-smart food-systems in the region.

ICARDA examines how R4D in agriculture can inform policy to help ensure food security for farming communities in resource constrained countries.

On Desertification and Drought Day, ICARDA showcases its work to build resilient food systems in dryland ecosystems, through a people-centered approach that puts the knowledge, experiences, and challenges of rural communities directly at the center of its core research.

On World Environment Day we celebrate biodiversity and examine how we can rehabilitate our food production systems to be more in line with the natural world and its sustainability.

Agrobiodiversity is crucial to the livelihoods of rural communities living in dry areas of the world. It is critical for nutritional excellence and global food security amid the combined challenges of climate change, diminishing natural resources, and rapidly growing population.

On World Bee Day, ICARDA outlines how we contribute to pollinator protection, how farmers can benefit from wild pollinators, and how we use SMS to improve knowledge and services for honey producers.
