ICARDA scientist receives international recognition
An ICARDA scientist was recently awarded the 2014 Outstanding Young Scientist Award at the annual awards ceremony of the Association of Agricultural Scientists of Indian Origin (AASIO).
Efforts to improve systems analysis and enhance modeling capabilities across North Africa were recently taken forward through a workshop targeting researchers from Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco.
Against a backdrop of increasing conflict and instability, ICARDA recently attended a FAO conference to explore strategies that could strengthen the resilience of the region's agriculture and food security.
Although the solutions needed to raise agricultural productivity are known, they often do not reach the end-users who can benefit from them the most - smallholder farmers.
ICARDA is working with the Hashemite Fund for the Development of Jordan's 'Badia' to reverse degradation and improve the productivity of Jordan's marginal lands.
