Public and private sector scientists identified key translational research areas with a high probability of boosting productivity in wheat and other crops that could be researched in ‘precompetitive’ space.
Methods suggested by CIFOR-ICRAF scientists were adopted for the calculation of Indonesia’s 2nd Forest Reference Emission Levels (FRELs) to be submitted to the UNFCCC in early 2022
Validated: Scientists showed how deploying an in-house genotyping platform alongside optimized molecular techniques can accelerate maize improvement activity for a quick result turnaround—providing a workflow that can also be adopted by less sophisticated breeding laboratories in developing countries for efficient crop improvement.
Co-developed, tested, and scaled out by CCAFS scientists, climate services approaches are helping assess, produce, translate and transfer climate information to enable agricultural decision making to 420+ institutions in eleven countries in Latin America (LAM), reaching 501,000 farmers in a comprehensive national Climate Risk Management (CRM) from ...

Science in Africa is expanding, but it is important to establish whether the scientific community experiences a gender gap. Where survey results from the project “A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Sciences: How to Measure It, How to Reduce It?” are available for Africa, they indicate that the gender gaps in...

This paper highlights the importance of Mexican researchers’ scientific publications in journals that are listed in Scopus and Web of Sciences (WoS). This research found that 98% of these publications were written by members of the National System of Researchers (SNI, by its acronym in Spanish), hence the importance of strengthening this organizati...
The research sought to investigate the conceptions of seventy-eight third-year high school students regarding the image and name of scientists James Watson and Francis Crick, through questionnaires applied to students in three public schools in the municipality of XXX. The instrument, composed of two parts, investigated the recognition of scientist...
The construction of a large hydroelectric project in the Chilean Patagonia sparked a discussion that faced the arguments of promoters and opponents. This article analyzes the communication strategy of main actors of this emblematic controversy, showing how both sides adapted themselves to the circumstances with different degrees of flexibility by u...
