This issue highlights are: a) We can feed the world. A distinguished speaker calls for more support for agricultural research. b) Harry Darling remembered: honoring ICARDA's first Director General. c) International Cooperation: building the Palestille Connection. d) Simulating the sirocco: how spare parts from the scrapyard can help us breed for heat tolerance. e) Traveling workshops have long been a way for scientists to exchange information. Why not farmers too? f) Ascochyta blight has reared its ugly head in winter chickpeas. But the cure is already available. g) Barley is not just a subsistence crop, and Ecuadorean women have been proving it. h) Spreading the word on forage legumes: a successful briefing for farmers.
