Morocco’s seed system makes progress, but some challenges still remain
Yigezu et al. (2019) conducted an extensive survey of the seed system value chain of Morocco and performed targeted interviews with over 1,200 Moroccan farmers in 2013. This milestone publication documented that despite ...
Institutional and farm-level challenges limiting the diffusion of new varieties from public and CGIAR centers: The case of wheat in Morocco
Low adoption of agricultural technologies slows efforts to increase agricultural productivity and enhance rural livelihoods in developing countries. A large body of literature has sought explanations for the problem, but ...
Genetic Gains in Wheat Breeding and Its Role in Feeding the World
Wheat is the leading global food crop providing 19% of the daily calories and 21% of protein requirements for humans. The wheat production has increased from 220 million tons in 1961 to 750 million tons in 2018 with total ...
Addressing the global challenges for barley improvement through CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals
The International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) has a global mandate for
barley improvement, specifically for dry areas across the globe. ICARDA has reorganized the spring and
winter barley research ...
Wheat Breeding at ICARDA: Strategies, Achievements and Prospects
Presentation on the 13th Wheat Genetic Symposium, 23-28 April 2017, Tulln, Austria.
Are continued public sector and CGIAR investments on wheat crop improvement research justifiable? A Moroccan case
In Morocco, the adoption of recent improved wheat varieties is low, casting doubt on whether investments in wheat research are paying off. This paper generates estimates of the returns to the national and international ...
Development and deployment of climate resilient wheat varieties to ensure food security in Africa
Wheat production in the CWANA and SSA regions is significantly affected by abiotic (heat, drought) and biotic (rusts, septoria, etc) stresses. The wheat breeding program at ICARDA develops high yielding wheat genotypes ...
