Not all #maize is yellow. #biodiversity in #foodsystems is just a crazy colour palette of wonder.

Hello. Just moved from X. I'm a soil scientist with Emeritus position at Rothamsted Research, UK, and Visiting Prof at Reading University. Interests in soil C and N cycling, climate change and agric sustainability. Past collaborations with colleagues in China and CIMMYT. All views my own.

Each year CIMMYT has a competition in the town of Jala for the longest ear. They're not quite at 48 inches yet, but getting there.

Zeya mays - Maize, Corn, Sweetcorn.
A European illustration by van Houtte, c1873. Harvested for at least 9,000 years its spread in the last 250 has been remarkable.

What if maize yields across Sub Saharan Africa could rise by up to 25 percent in the next decade?
CIMMYT and partners from 13 countries are advancing resilient hybrids and stronger seed systems to accelerate impact for farmers.

Money in the seed bank: Mexico is home to one of the world’s most significant agricultural research centers and the largest gene bank for maize and wheat, the Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo (CIMMYT) in Texcoco. The CIMMYT has 1,300 employees with projects in over 40 countries.

밀은 또 이야기가 더 웃긴데, 한국에서 밀농사가 재미없어서 사실상 도태가 된건 굉장히 오래된 일인데 정작 현재 상업밀의 상당수는 한국밀 유전자가 없으면 성립이 안됨. 1970년대 드워프 유전자가 한국 앉은뱅이 밀에서 기원해서 상업밀의 생산성을 거의 두배 가까이 끌어올렸는데, 정작 한국에서 앉은뱅이 밀은 명맥이 끊겼었음. 저 유전자를 상업밀에 이식하게 한것도 국제기구인 CIMMYT.

First day at CIMMYT as their new Chief Engagement Officer! They’re building farms of the future with smallholder farmers across the global south (to the benefit of US agriculture, too). Delighted to join this global food security group, with their hands-on approach to cutting edge science.

Thrilled to be one of many virtual participants on first day of #AgMIP10 at CIMMYT for packed agenda of plenary panels, working sessions and paper and poster presentations. Big challenges to food and Ag systems need bold scientific advances and collaborations across borders and disciplines.
#AgMIP10 is underway! This morning, we welcomed 160+ people both in-person and online to CIMMYT in El Batán, Mexico. To view the agenda and learn more about the various sessions taking place throughout the week, go to AgMIP.org/AgMIP10
