ICARDA scientists develop sustainable solutions for family farmers in dry regions to improve livelihoods, food and nutritional security under a climate crisis.
2021 is the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables #IYFV
With our partners @FAO, we are committed to promoting the under-utilized Cactus Pear which thrives with minimal inputs in marginal areas, making it important to farmers in dry regions.
Thrilled to see @ICARDA's Plant Virologist Dr Safaa Kumari made it to the @BBC's 2020 list of 100 influential #women for her inspiring @CGIAR work on plant epidemiology.
