🌿Small seasonal wetlands, like dambos in southern Africa, are often overlooked in discussions about food security. CGIAR’s NEXUS Gains initiative highlights its critical role during droughts. In 2024, Zambia and Malawi faced significant harvest losses, leading governments to promote winter farming in these wetlands. While this approach offers potential solutions, it also risks ecological degradation without sustainable farming practices. To protect both livelihoods and ecosystems, policymakers must adopt a holistic approach that balances short-term yields with long-term conservation.

🌾🍚 Millions of people worldwide suffering from diabetes and protein deficiencies could soon have access to a healthier rice option. A groundbreaking study published in PNAS by International Rice Research Institute scientists reveals how they identified key genes and markers linked to low glycemic index (GI) and high protein content in rice, leveraging genetics and AI classification methods. This advancement marks a major step in addressing these critical global health challenges. The IRRI team and partners are now working to incorporate these genes into future breeding programs and popular rice varieties across Asia and Africa.

🌱As global warming edges towards 1.5°C, the world faces unavoidable climate hazards that could cause irreversible damage. Extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, and heightened risks to infrastructure highlight the urgent need for effective strategies. Carbon credits, carbon dioxide removal (CDR), and adaptation are at the forefront of these efforts, offering both challenges and solutions. Experts from CGIAR Climate Impact Platform's recent webinars stress that carbon credits must undergo significant reform, and CDR should be scaled responsibly to meet Paris Agreement goals.
