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’

Productive and inspiring discussions ongoing in Cairo between senior scientists of ICARDA; International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, and ICRISAT - International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics - guided by DGs Mr. Aly Abousabaa and Dr. Jacqueline Hughes. We are focusing on a strategic roadmap to leverage our science and expertise in dryland agriculture. By coordinating our groundbreaking science and making better use of research facilities and partner networks, we can drive pioneering agri-innovation and develop a CGIAR Global Strategy for Resilient Drylands with our sister CGIAR centers. This will enhance resilience for farmers, and empower communities to thrive in the face of the climate crisis.

🌾 A major milestone for Syria's agricultural sector 🌾 The release of Cham 12, a new bread wheat variety developed by ICARDA in partnership with GCSAR, is set to transform rainfed farming in Syria. Tested rigorously across multiple regions, Cham 12 has shown remarkable resilience and superior yields compared to older commercial varieties, making it an invaluable resource for farmers facing the challenges of climate change. With its moderate resistance to yellow rust and strong performance even in extreme weather conditions, Cham 12 is not just a new crop variety—it's a beacon of hope for sustainable farming in Syria and beyond.

Field day in #Sids Research Station, #Egypt in collaboration with #ARC involving different stakeholders Researchers from ARC, Extensionist, Farmers, and Private sectors. Highlighted key outcomes of collaborative Agronomic research and extension activity followed by field visit. Very pleased to hear from farmers how they are benefiting from adopting #bundled agronomic solution #Mechanization, #crop and #variety, #water & #nutrient management, #Agro-Advisory etc.. Appreciation from #NARES for designing and implementing #scalable innovation at on-station and at farmers’ field. Hoping for #scaling such scalable bundled solutions at scale in the next business cycle for #sustainable intensification of irrigated #drylands.
