CIMMYT scientists and their Chinese counterparts discuss best methods for protecting food crop production from climate change.
Soil health and water infrastructure measures needed to restore wheat production in Pakistan, in rural communities devastated by major flooding.
Urgent action is required to mitigate effects of temperature extremes in South Asia, which threaten wheat production and human health.
Increasingly unpredictable weather poses challenges for breeding widely-adapted wheat lines, but stress tolerance breeding is boosting wheat’s hardiness under rising temperatures.
CIMMYT scientists use high-powered drones and space satellite imagery to accelerate crop improvement, fight pests and diseases and help farmers make better crop management decisions.
