An inspiring conference and very coherent presentations in the opening session with the Hon. MoA of Morocco, @UNFAO @BethBechdol @CGIAR and other colleagues. We need science and evidence based solutions! It was an honor to be in the session!
A fantastic day in #Rabat with partners & colleagues ... Conservation Agriculture & Sustainable Mechanization together are powerful tools to build a resilient future for African agriculture, especially for women and youth. We can produce more with less! #3ACCA #AfricaMechanize

Africa is in a race against time on #foodsecurity, and we know that getting the right technologies to African farmers at scale is key to delivery impact on #SDG2. It was a pleasure to share @CGIAR’s research and innovation in this area at the @AfDB_Group’s Annual Meeting.

Thanks for sharing, @EnockChikava. @CGIAR’s work on developing #climatesmart crop varieties is an important part of its systems approach to building resilience in agrifood systems. #OneCGIAR @cipotato #RAFS
πŸ₯”Potatoes – nutritious & drought-tolerant! @CGIAR & @Cipotato recognized the value of potatoes & are working to improve varieties. Adaptation is key to resilience & we must provide tools for smallholder farmers to adapt to #ClimateChange. devex.com/news/can-potatoes-…
