Today, we were delighted to receive a visit from Ismahane Elouafi (@CGIAR_EMD), offering the chance to share our research with her.
Ismahane learned first-hand how the Alliance contributes to #agrobiodiversity conservation, global #foodsecurity, and #climatechangeaction. 🌎🌱

Specifically, Dr. Manoj represented the Nature Positive Solutions for Shifting Agrifood Systems to More Resilient and Sustainable Pathways under the Environment Health and Biodiversity caucus

My thoughts as a scientist working for 20 years on trees and their role in sustainable development – at Nairobi, Kenya
Using Direct Air Capture to solve climate crisis is "complete nonsense." It increases CO2, air pollution, fossil mining & fossil infrastructure.
Planting trees decreases CO2

The Seeds for Needs Initiative sought to provide smallholder seed systems with better information and access to a portfolio of adopted crops and varieties.
Over 200 native accessions of small millets, amaranth and buckwheat were tested.
Carlo Fadda retweeted
Millets are key in making production systems in Africa & Asia more resilient,nutritious; & improving farmers' livelihoods.
Seeds for needs is an efficient & effective way to screen and develop pre-breeding for millets considering climate change, market, farmers preference etc

#Agroecology | A paper by the #Viability project claims that many African farmers already use #agroecological practices. This deliberately contentious observation runs counter to the common idea that agroecology is not viable for African farmers.
