🌾 African rice (Oryza glaberrima) has been cultivated for more than 3,000 years in parts of Africa but it remains much less widely used than Asian rice (Oryza sativa). Marie-Noelle Ndjiondjop, head of the Africa Rice Center genebank, shares her passion for this resilient crop and explains how it can help farmers in a changing climate. 🌱 The genebank – known as the Rice Biodiversity Center for Africa - holds the world’s largest collection of African rice. It is one of 11 CGIAR genebanks that share samples with farmers and scientists around the world. 🌍 As governments discuss how to put #biodiversity at the heart of sustainable food systems at #COP16Colombia, let’s celebrate the scientists working on this and other underused crops.
