🤔Can gene editing help 🇲🇦’s food security? 💡This was the theme of the dialogue hosted by ICARDA alongside the 🇬🇧 embassy represented by our climate attaché. 📍Join us at the 🇬🇧’s pavilion in SIAM Maroc to find out more about the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office funded research projects.


Complex topic 🤔 ➡️ 🥳 fun event! Great discussion on #GeneEditing 🧬 with UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office INRA Maroc to discuss #biotechnology for #Morocco great jon Anna Backhaus and the team organizing it ICARDA


#SIAM agricultural fair in Morocco presented a great opportunity to talk about Gene Editing and its potential use in Morocco with diverse stakeholders. Big thanks to INRA Maroc UK in Morocco UM6P - University Mohammed VI Polytechnic for support and participation!


The true importance of straw 🌾🐐🫏in #desert #farm 🌵in the south of #Morocco 🇲🇦 Visiting #participatory trials and station of The Crop Trust #BOLD project. The crop wild relatives Crop Wild Relatives derived lines ICARDA are really showing superiority in these harsh conditions.




Great day for #Watkins #Wheat in Morocco: First they were used to showcase the potential of novel genomic tools to ICARDA stakeholders, then they were interviewed by BBC Sounds . Thanks to FCDO Research, Science and Technology CABI & John Innes Centre for making this possible! #UK_CGIAR
