Ministerial Luncheon: Less Rain, More Grain

9 Jan 2017 - 9 Jan 2017

In a greenhouse at the Antsirabe Field Centre of the National Centre for Applied Research in Rural Development (FOFIFA), breeders sprout potential new cold-tolerant varieties to test in the coming cold season. The international research center AfricaRice has joined the effort to introduce locally adapted lines that include parents from other cold regions. Most rice is acutely sensitive to variations in temperature during the phase when grain is formed: if it is too hot or too cold, the plant produces fewer grains. The aim of this research is to breed Malagasy rice that yields better when colder conditions hit the highlands.

Expert Consultation Group Meeting

30 Nov 2016 - 30 Nov 2016

A farmer plows the land with oxen at the Agustina Farm in Morales, Cauca. A drought fueled by the El Niño phenomenon in 2015 forced farmers to delay planting cassava in Cauca, leaving fields bare far into the growing season. As such disruptions become more frequent under climate change, farmers will need more cassava varieties that are both drought tolerant and fast-growing enough to plant whenever the rain arrives.
