The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Science Week, co-hosted by the Kenya Agricultural & Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO), closed Friday evening after a remarkable week that underscored the transformative power of science when coupled with strategic partnerships.
Throughout the event, collaboration took centre stage as participants shared technologies and insights and discussed the further development of groundbreaking innovations with the potential to revolutionize agri-food systems-making them more resilient, sustainable, and equitable.
The debates held and showcasing of science not only illuminated the path forward but also reaffirmed a collective commitment to a food-secure future.
Over the week, several key achievements took place with the International Potato Centre (CIP) and KALRO signing a licensing agreement to transfer biotech for a potato resistant to late blight, reducing the need for chemical inputs while improving productivity and resilience.
