The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) will convene its annual field day at the CIMMYT Southern Africa Regional Office in Harare on the 5th of April 2023.
The field day will be held at CIMMYT, a 12.5 km peg along Mazowe Road in Mt Pleasant, Harare.
According to Moses Siambi, the CIMMTY Country Representative, the event will showcase crop improvement, crop management, and mechanization technologies that his organisation has developed with the support of various development partners and the private sector.
He said that the field day will be attended by farmers, scientists, government officials, seed companies and other stakeholders.
The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, one of the 15 Consultative Groups on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) centers, help to improve lives in developing countries by encouraging more productive, sustainable maize and wheat farming.
CIMMYT aims to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition, climate change, and environmental destruction. CIMMYT and its partnerships help to build and strengthen a new generation of national agricultural research and extension services in maize and wheat-growing nations.
CGIAR is a global partnership that unites international organizations engaged in research about food security. CGIAR research aims to reduce rural poverty, increase food security, improve human health and nutrition, and sustainable the management of natural resources.
