It was argued that seed systems development should be ‘Gender inclusive’. More women get access to quality seed varieties and training, finance and access to the market. - Accelerate variety turnover for OPV @_PABRA @CIMMYT @TanzaniaTari @CGIAR @BiovIntCIAT_eng

It’s #NationalBeanDay! Through scientific studies, #landgrantuniversities have shown the many health benefits of beans. For example, @UNL_CASNR showed that pinto beans can help lower cholesterol and @CSUAgSci found that beans can reduce visceral fat. bit.ly/MRF-breeding-beans

The #drought in the Horn is devastating and unprecedented.
The #drought in the greater Horn of Africa is getting worse. We have allocated $107 million to fight #hunger over the next 2 years to prevent a devastating famine — as well as over $11M to the WFP to help provide 32,000 schoolchildren with meals.
