Hello Mid-Ohio Valley farmers and gardeners! The growing season is in full swing as those ever-popular warm-season vegetables are going into the ground or in co
For a decade, ICARDA has worked with Morocco on a groundbreaking Rainfed Research Platform for sustainable and resilient livelihoods for rural communities
On World Bee Day, we take a look at Dr Stefenie Christmann's Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP) project which shows how wild bee and pollinator protection is affordable for low- and middle-income countries
Pollinators are facing declines at a global level. One of the main factors driving this decline is insufficient access to floral resources due to habitat loss and degradation that can affect both diet generalist species as well as those with more restricted floral preferences. Here we evaluated the effect of a novel mitigation strategy in agricultural ecosystems, Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP) on the pollen diet of crop pollinators. The approach dedicates 25% of the cropped area to Marketable Habitat
An open-access paper in Nature reports on the significant advantages of using the low-cost Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP) method to attract pollinators when compared to the reward-based Wildflower Strips (WFS) method used in many high-income countries.

Welcome to 2021! Between COVID-19 and the intensifying impact of the climate crisis, farmers face unprecedented threats and challenges to their livelihoods, particularly in vulnerable dry regions. ICARDA's mission to provide vital livelihoods resilience through innovative agricultural science is more urgent than ever. Alongside CGIAR, and our community of donors, partners, and rural stakeholders, we start the new year with energy, confidence, and a single-minded goal to roll out game-changing agricultural innovations to support farmers in these harsh times, now and in the future. Our people-centered research includes farmers at every stage to make sure we deliver agricultural innovations tailored to specific agronomic and socio-economic contexts, as well as food and nutritional security where it’s needed most:
and then spend it out of the other countries. unlike other common insect protection plans the focus here is on the neighboring farmers to generate an income from everything they grow. farming with alternative pollinators or if up for short is the name of the plan it works like this 3 quarters of the land is used to grow the main crops like eggplant for example cultivated around it are plants that attract more insects because of their colors shapes and when they're in bloom the farmer can also sell them. as a control there are fields in which only the main crop grows that way the researchers can assess the effectiveness of the intervention. as a ph d. student on christmas team will be. here she's collecting insect samples that will later be examined in the lab when it comes to protecting pollinators she says
