ICARDA works in dry areas to promote sustainable agriculture, raise farmer incomes, and strengthen food security.
نبذة عنا
Getting agricultural research innovations into use in the dry areas is critically important, especially since these regions cover 40 per cent of the earth’s surface and are home to 2.5 billion people – a significant percentage of the world’s population. This is the core work of the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Area (ICARDA), which works with partners worldwide, developing innovations to improve food security and the livelihoods of the rural poor. ICARDA’s work targets non-tropical dry areas in developing countries, and also produces international public goods with potential for global application. Research covers crops (wheat, barley, faba bean, lentil, chickpea and forage legumes), the management of natural resources (water, land, biodiversity), small ruminant production (sheep and goats), farming systems (intensification, diversification, integration between farming system components), and socio-economics and policy research – on how policies can be more relevant to the situation of low income countries. The estimated benefits of ICARDA’s crop improvement research and production of new varieties over the past 3 decades has been estimated at US$850 million per year. Over 900 improved varieties of wheat, developed from ICARDA material, have been released for cultivation worldwide. The new varieties offer higher yields; better tolerance to drought, heat, cold and salinity; and improved resistance to diseases, weeds and insect pests. Watch our short video - ‘ICARDA - What We Do’

🌾 Read about our well-received Field Day in Uzbekistan where we demonstrated the benefits of crop diversification! Thanks to our partners, the Karakalpakstan Research Institute of Crop Husbandry, and FAO 🌱👩🌾 By cultivating multiple crops within the same field, we improve soil health, boost household income, and reduce climate-related risks. It was great to see that farmers showed keen interest in growing chickpea and lentil in 2025 and were especially enthusiastic about mungbean, contingent on the availability of improved seeds. Congratulations to our Country Manager Akmal Akramkhanov and our colleagues at ICARDA Uzbekistan for having roganized this successful event! https://lnkd.in/dR3-X7j3
