🌍 At today’s Borlaug Dialogue session, DialogueNEXT in Mexico: Nurturing Farmer Resilience, we celebrated the power of DialogueNEXT to unite leaders and foster transformative growth across continents. This platform fuels global collaboration, as seen in CIMMYT’s role hosting the Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils initiative and our renewed partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation. DialogueNEXT embodies the commitment to resilient and equitable food systems that uplift communities and honor the enduring legacies of pioneers like Dr. Norman Borlaug and Sanjaya Rajaram. #BorlaugDialogue #DialogueNEXT #CIMMYT #FarmerResilience #GlobalFoodSecurity

Sudan's livestock sector is a vital pillar of food security and economic stability, contributing significantly to the national GDP. Amidst ongoing challenges, CIMMYT is leading a coordinated vaccination campaign to protect this critical resource. 💉 Discover how 2.5 million animals across five states are receiving vaccines, supporting over 140,000 herders. 🐄 Together with our partners: the Catholic Relief Services, International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany, and Samaritan’s Purse, we’re building resilience and safeguarding livelihoods. #SASAS Funded by USAID - US Agency for International Development #LivestockResilience #FoodS

🌍 As the Borlaug Dialogue begins, CIMMYT is proud to strengthen our commitment to food security in partnership with USAID. Our joint efforts are crucial for creating resilient, sustainable agrifood systems that uplift communities and safeguard livelihoods. Together, we’re addressing the pressing challenges of global hunger and food security, sharing knowledge, and developing innovative solutions that make a lasting impact. USAID’s support is invaluable in this journey, empowering us to scale solutions that matter. 👏 #BorlaugDialogue #FoodSecurity #Partnerships #CIMMYT #USAID #SustainableAgriculture

🌱 Starting strong at the Borlaug Dialogue, we met with FAO to reinforce our partnership in advancing sustainable agrifood systems. Together, we’re committed to fostering resilient crops, healthy soils, and impactful solutions to address climate challenges and enhance nutrition for communities worldwide. 🌏 With FAO’s invaluable support, this collaboration strengthens our mission to empower farmers, support communities, and build a food-secure future for generations to come. #WeAreCIMMYT #BorlaugDialogue #FAO #FoodSecurity #ClimateResilience #SustainableAgriculture

#CIMMYT, in partnership with the Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute (#TARI), the Alliance of Bioversity International, and #CIAT, organized strategic meetings across Arusha, Dodoma, and Dar es Salaam to drive varietal turnover for dryland crops like sorghum, beans, and groundnuts. Stakeholders, including farmers, processors, and traders, discussed how market dynamics and seed systems drive adoption of resilient crop varieties, emphasizing demand, key breeding traits, and the need for quality seeds, education, and youth involvement to meet Tanzania's food needs. Why this matters? ✔️ Stakeholder Empowerment: By providing access to market intelligence and innovations, CIMMYT is equipping local actors to become drivers of adoption for resilient crop varieties. ✔️ Market and Production Opportunities: Shared insights enable a unified approach to market access, boosting crop adoption and supporting Tanzania's aim for increased production by 2030. ✔️ Youth Engagement: With youth comprising half of Tanzania’s population, promoting agricultural practices among this demographic is central to sustainable food security. #AVISA #ACCELERATE
