Inspirierender Nachmittag im Alten Rathaus - junge Delegierte - Land Heros - aus aller Welt haben sich gemeinsam auf die @UNCCD COP16 vorbereitet - auch in Bonn denken wir, Boden, Klima und Biodiversität zusammen, auch hier sind die Städte starke und motivierte Partner 💚
A new PhD started today. She asked for general advice for the first few months. This was my advice:
1. Don’t work evenings or weekends
2. Don’t aim to prove yourself (to me), I’m already convinced of your capacities
3. Go for a walk when things dazzle you (1/3)
The completed and multi-platform version of the #AKILIMO advisory service will be expandable to provide agronomic recommendations for other crops and scalable to other locations across Africa and the rest of the world. Pieter Pypers. Read more bit.ly/3bPdpa9.
#Cassava
"Planting the right tree for the right purpose in the right place, engaging communities from the start in discussions about which species to plant..." @RegreenAfrica is making great efforts to close this gap 👏🌳🌿
🌿🇨🇫Women in Cassava🌿🇳🇬
Research talent of young women scientists is helping to boost development of the #cassava crop & transforming African agriculture, with vital new insights into maximizing the agronomic potential of the crop

🇳🇬🌿Cassava Irrigation🌿🇳🇬
To maximize #cassava production, rain is usually not enough. Irrigation is widely used in Asia where they get top yields. Valentine Eleta from #Nigeria is doing a PhD to work out how water use can be optimized with fertilizer to boost yields @ACAI_IITA
ALT Valentine is using a Chlorophyll meter which measures the chlorophyll content of leaves (more chlorophyll in healthy vigorous plants) without damaging the leaf or having to remove it
Food is much more than what is on our plates.
For the people who grow it👩🌾, the natural resources that go into producing it 💦and the millions of people in the 🌍 who go without it, we can all do more to recognize the value of food.
Planting #trees or growing them. Do the words matter for #landrestoration? Researchers explain why and how rethinking the words will help achieve success: bit.ly/39I1xTB
