Soil salinity and sodicity problems are one of the major challenges to the permanence of irrigated agriculture in Ethiopia. This manuscript, therefore, concerns its spatial and temporal variation under irrigated fields and suggests possible management options. For this investigation, eight monitoring locations were selected based on the irrigation intensity that farmers practised in the area. With each location, three irrigated farmers' fields were randomly selected for sampling purposes. Likewise, six farmers' fields from the rain-fed system were also selected for comparison purposes.

For the 1.5 billion people living in fragile and conflict-affected situations, livelihood challenges are compounded by climate change, unsustainable resource consumption, poor governance, and weak social cohesion. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) and preparedness are critical components of a comprehensive approach to managing and mitigating the impact of disasters.

The key components for achieving long-lasting resistance to wheat rust disease and effectively managing the wheat rust disease relies on constantly tracking the movement of the pathogens and studying their pathogenic variabilities. Despite the severe drought conditions in wheat-growing regions of CWANA in 2023, the Regional Cereal Rust Research Center-Turkey in collaboration with national rust surveillance teams conducted rust surveillance in Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia, following to the BGRI rust surveillance procedures.

Through action research across six anchored countries in Africa, AICCRA aims at scaling access and use of enhanced climate information services (CIS) and evidence-based climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies and innovations for effective climate risk management and sustainable productivity improvement in various agricultural value chains and sub-sectors.

INNOVATION PROFILE of Sustainable rangeland management toolkit with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach for addressing the biophysical and sociocultural aspects under changing climate and land use leading towards more resilient pastoral systems.

The Foresight Monitoring Tool for Adaptive Management and Learning was designed to support planning, reporting, managing, and learning along the Foresight Initiative Theory of Change (ToC) which is populated by a number of knowledge products, capacity sharing activities and innovations generated by the synergistic collaboration of a multidisciplinary team of scientists from 11 CGIAR Centers and external partners. The Foresight Monitoring Tool was reported as an Innovation in 2022.

This study was conducted through the CGIAR Asian Mega -Deltas (AMD) initiative, a multi -year research program to secure food systems of the Mekong Delta, Irrawaddy Delta, and the Ganges Delta for climate and livelihood resilience. The study contributes to Work Package 3 (WP 3) on derisking delta orientated value chains through bundled digital climate advisory services (DCAS+), and focuses on Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. DCAS comprise mobile phones, digital platforms, radio, and TV, as well as digitally enabled services such as extension services and printed bulletins.

The theory of change depends on all work being done within partnerships, particularly with
national research and extension systems(NARES) and with small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
active in the national breeding and seed sectors. A core focus is to raise the NARES-CGIAR-SME
breeding networks’ collective strategic and operational capacity to deliver a high rate of uptake
and replacement in seed varieties among small-scale farmers in low- and medium- income
countries.

Genetic improvement is crucial for ensuring food security globally. Indeed, plant breeding has contributed significantly to increasing the productivity of major crops, including rice, over the last century. Evaluating the efficiency of breeding strategies necessitates a quantification of this progress. One approach involves assessing the genetic gain achieved through breeding programs based on quantitative traits.
