What a great session on on-farm biodiversity at #TropAG Thanks to all the speakers for travelling this far to share your biodiversity experience from around the world!

On the 1st day of the #2035OceaniaSummit , CGIAR's Stephan Weise Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT joined a fruitful discussion about adopting science to help transform agrifood systems to be more sustainable.

The future of agriculture is in great hands with inspiring female researchers such as Charlotte Rambla. It has been a privilege to have you as part of our student group at QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation Charlotte. Massive congratulations!

While nowhere near as attractive as our natural plants, I guess the attractiveness of these new plants is of a very significant kind! reuters.com/business/susta…

If this wasn't about heat, I would say this was a cool animation...

Happy to have you write a great commentary about our paper.

Plant breeding never ceases to amaze - look at these wheat plots in Mexico CIMMYT

Wow! These images are really effective at showing the effects of deforestation.
