Enhancing Food Security in Arab Countries
A research for development initiative working across ten countries to raise wheat production and reduce the Arab World’s growing dependence on costly wheat imports.
Economic and food security benefits associated with raised-bed wheat production in Egypt
Countries in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region are dependent on imports of wheat to meet their food security
needs. Mechanized raised-bed wheat production is an effective means of increasing productivity and ...
Genome-wide association study for agronomic and physiological traits in spring wheat evaluated in a range of heat prone environments
We undertook large-scale genetic analysis to determine marker-trait associations (MTAs) underlying agronomic and physiological performance in spring wheat using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Field trials were ...
Adaptation and Stability Analysis of ICARDA Durum Wheat Elites across 18 Countries
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is the 10th most important crop in the world, and its cultivation occurs on a vast array of international agroenvironments. However, its wide international adaptation is only marginally ...
Strengthening informal seed networks
How can we strengthen seed systems to achieve food security and better protection from epidemics and disease?
Training and Surveillance Support for Wheat Rust Diseases in Central Asia and Near East: In-Country Rust Surveillance
Through the FAO-ICARDA initiative on Training and Surveillance Support for Wheat Rust Diseases, technical backstopping, guidelines and financial support were provided to facilitate national in-country rust surveillance in ...
Food Losses and Wastage along the Wheat Value Chain in Egypt and Their Implications on Food and Energy Security, Natural Resources, and the Environment
Pushing yield frontiers of cereals and legumes is becoming increasingly difficult, especially
in drylands. This paper argues and provides empirical evidence that food loss and wastage constitute
a sizeable proportion of ...
Final Technical Report - Integrated Approach to Identify and Characterize Climate Resilient Wheat for the West Asia and North Africa Region
Final Technical report related to project Integrated Approach to Identify and Characterize Climate Resilient Wheat for the West Asia and North Africa Region
High yielding wheat varieties with heat and drought tolerance
Wheat is an important food crop globally is facing serious threats from impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures, recurring droughts and floods, and emergence of new pests and diseases like stripe rust, yellow ...
Methodology for Assessing Adoption, Efficiency, and Impacts of Mechanized Raised-Bed Technology
Mechanized raised-bed technology (MRBT) has been recognized as an important
Component of integrated water management to achieve higher productivity in intensive irrigated systems, such as those found in the Nile ...
