1. Kurdistan inaugurates a new genebank in Sulaymaniyah, which Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani called one of Kurdistan and Iraq’s most important national projects.
2. Ghana complements its national collection at Bunso. The new facility will improve drying, processing and conservation, while giving northern farmers and breeders closer access to genetic materials.
3. Three decades of African bean research partnerships have helped turn a staple crop into a vehicle for improved nutrition, livelihoods and climate resilience.
