Wonder what would happen to minimum tillage even in the developed world, with glyphosate facing possible demise. Hope we get to put our priorities right.

Great to see that our farmers are machine-harvesting teff. We should congratulate ourselves!

Tomato in doro wot? C'mon, that is NOT doro wot, Maji

It's my hope that AU gives high priority for homegrown solutions. Time for Africans to take their development agenda into their own hands and be accountable to their actions.

Had my second interview with Sheger FM102.1 yesterday, where my emphasis was an appeal to GOE to establish a marshal plan for agric. development.

I wonder what is really new in the New CGIAR.

Great finding. Of credit should be given to contributors concomitant with the amount effort due.

አዎ ክፉኛ አስቆጭቶኛል። ጠይምነትን ጥቁርነትን ማንቋሸሽ ኢትዮጵያዊነትን አፍሪቃዊነትን ማንቋሸሽ ነው። እነኝህ ቃላት ከመዝገበ ቃላታችንና ከጭንቅላታችን ታጥበው መጣል አለባቸው።

Ha, ha, ha. It's all about somebody so important!

I attended the 2022 Global Hunger Index meeting earlier today. Quite high level. Very many dignitaries. My main concern was why it is called "Hunger Index". So unflattering for the recipient countries. Wondered if there was any African voice at the inception in 2006.

Just saw that Dr James Borrell of Kew Garden is showcasing enset - again. Would someone tell the world that it is unethical to showcase something that does not belong to you? This is not something that left the country through ethical means.

Just read this article on GM Maize in Ethiopia (TELA). I was expecting CIMMYT to be represented. Was also wondering where are the data proving it is superior to the conventionally bred hybrids/varieties to any of the constraints?

Ohhh?

#EthiopianAgriculture Was in an NGO meeting on food systems today. A good one. Had two messages. One: We'll make sure we have CLARITY OF PURPOSE on what we want to achieve. Two: Our engagement with policy makers should be "from us to us" NOT "from us to them". ከኛ ለኛ!

#EthiopianAgriculture Another good meeting today on policy on food systems. Was encouraged by a good number of the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives attending and sharing ideas. Hope to see opportunities to take it to the next level.

#EthiopianAgriculture Gave a keynote address at PurposeBlack - Ethiopia second anniversary yesterday. So fascinating. So happy to see that they are putting into action what we have been talking about for ages. I said: there is development where there is right policy support!
