Breaking Ground: Lara Roeven delves into complex gender dynamics
CIMMYT researcher explores the ways in which gender norms influence agricultural innovation around the world.
Study calls for better understanding of fertilizer prices faced by African smallholder farmers
Scientists use spatial price prediction models to estimate local prices that might be more relevant than the national average.
New international partnership to identify and develop resistance to dangerous wheat disease
China-based CIMMYT-JAAS screening station aims for global impact in the fight against deadly Fusarium head blight.
What is wheat blast?
Wheat blast is one of the most fearsome and intractable wheat diseases in recent decades. It spreads through infected seeds, crop residues as well as by spores that can travel long distances in the air, posing a major threat to wheat production in tropical areas.
Seed systems in Nepal are going digital
Digital seed information system will connect farmers to information and seed suppliers.
About CIMMYT
For over 50 years, we’ve been using science to make a difference, helping tens of millions of farmers grow more nutritious, resilient and productive maize and wheat cropping systems, using methods that nourish the environment and combat climate change.
