ICRISAT'S research program on Resilient Dryland Systems

Sep 2011
IMOD
Innovate Grow Prosper
Inclusive Market Oriented Development
Research Program
Resilient Dryland Systems
Vision: A prosperous, food-secure and resilient dryland tropics
Goal : Reducing vulnerability to drought and climate change while increasing diversity and value
System perspective
Integrated approach that combines component technologies and practices within
natural resources and social and policy contexts, and includes the analysis of
trade-offs and constraints
Activities include:
• Analysis and integration of biological and socio-economic or livelihood systems
• Impacts and trade-offs in biological and livelihood systems across different
scales
Adaptation to climate change (CRP7/CCAFS)
• Ex-ante modeling crop management and genetic traits for future climates
• Analogue sites for learning and testing adaptation practices
• GHG emissions and mitigation under current and intensified smallholder
dryland systems.
Sustainable intensification and managing risk (CRP1.1)
• Site-specific nutrient management and micro-dosing
• Conservation effective agriculture
• Crop-livestock-tree systems
• Developing market linkages and innovation platforms for livestock-crop systems
• Diversification of livelihoods, especially for women
• Improving crop management of legumes and cereals.
Water, land and ecosystems (CRP5)
• Integrated water management through model watersheds, capacity building
and policy advocacy
• Cropping and irrigation systems to increase water productivity and profitability
• Modeling impact watershed interventions at scale
• Decision-support systems for water and nutrients.
Resilient Dryland Systems (RDS) works across three main CGIAR Research Programs
(CRPs) – CRPs 1.1, 5 and 7. RDS works with CRP3s (crop improvement) on crop
management and with CRP2 (Policies, Institutions and Markets to Strengthen Food
Security and Incomes for the Rural Poor) on resilience
RDS will focus its research activities in priority areas/sites of the CRP1.1, 5 and 7, using
systems perspectives to build synergies between CRPs

Mr. Michael Devlin, Head of the CODIS department at ICARDA, focused attention on the fact that the Dryland Systems Program is not about research but about how research can work for people living in dryland agro-ecosystems. Because the program will generate a wealth of new information that information will need to be well organized and accessible and open access will be a part of supporting knowledge sharing goals throughout the project cycle. Work being done currently will make all CGIAR information open access within five years. Common formatting will allow for open and harvestable databases and science will be published in open access journals with the underpinning data made available to all. Tactics for utilizing this vast quantity of information will include engaging and influencing specific groups, improving the effectiveness of the research process, capturing and sharing experience and making accessible all project information publicly. Key action areas outlined at the program level are marketing communication, advocacy, knowledge sharing, information management and web presence. Simple ways to speed and share learning and expertise include the ability to tap peer databases, the ability to track work in progress via document sharing, after action review and optimal meeting facilitation.

The Charles Renard Analytical Laboratory at ICRISAT has been officially registered with the International Network on Fertilizer Analysis – a network created in December 2020, to build and strengthen the capacity of laboratories in fertilizer analysis and harmonize fertilizer quality standards. Dr Pushpajeet L Choudhari, Manager of the soil laboratory, said that testing serves as a preventive measure to avoid the misuse of fertilizers leading to better soil management.

Three new chickpea varieties, with enhanced drought tolerance, disease resistance and increased yield, are set to become available to the Indian farmers. These have been notified to be available for cultivation by the Central Varietal Release Committee. Calling for the deployment of ‘fast-forward breeding’, a newly conceived framework that promises faster delivery of varieties to farmers, Dr Rajeev Varshney, Research Program Director – Accelerated Crop Improvement, ICRISAT, who coordinated the integration of genomics-assisted breeding activities for developing these varieties

ICRISAT’s Gender Research Program recently brought together breeders, value chain stakeholders and social scientists from Mali, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Nigeria to define priority traits of cultivars of sorghum, millet and groundnut during a 4-day workshop. Prior to the workshop, studies were carried out with the national agricultural research systems (NARS) partners in the above countries, to examine and assess the trait preferences of key stakeholders, especially taking into account the specificity of traits with respect to gender-related needs. The results of these studies were presented during the workshop. The expected output is priority trait demands translated into new market-driven and gender-responsive product profiles for the breeding programs at ICRISAT and NARS.

To improve smallholder farmers’ access to new improved varieties, a digital variety catalog tool created by ICRISAT in partnership with public and private institutions was recently launched. Called 4CAST, the tool is a user-friendly data driven platform that gives information about new improved varieties, quality and availability of seeds nationally and regionally. 4CAST, which stands for Digital Tools 4 Cataloguing and Adopting Improved Seed Technologies, also provides stakeholders in seed value chains a digital workflow, decentralized access, real-time tracking of progress, private catalogues as well as seed roadmaps.

In support of the objectives of the International Year of Millets (2023), a global study, “Prioritizing Regular Intake of Sorghum and Millets (PRISM)”, is being conducted to understand the potential drivers of sorghum and millets consumption. PRISM is a collaborative effort of researchers in the Markets, Institutions and Policy team at ICRISAT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and ICAR-Indian Institute of Millets Research (IIMR) to understand the choices that drive the consumption of these nutricereals and to explore their increased inclusion in diets globally for the good of dryland farmers, human health and the environment.

A robust, more efficient research structure is part of the reorganization initiative at ICRISAT that aims at building a cohesive and interconnected body of work in agricultural research. The revitalized framework is expected to seamlessly integrate and deliver agricultural research outputs across the drylands of Asia and Africa. The strength of this framework is the deeply interlinked global and regional programs working towards common and interdependent goals.

Communicating research findings to policy makers, peers and civil society is crucial for research uptake and development. To meet this goal, a one-day training session on messaging through newsletters and journal articles was held for participants of the International Training Programme on Climate Change – Mitigation and Adaptation of the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) at ICRISAT, Mali.

Training on science communication to engage funders and stakeholders

A virtual hands-on training program on developing geospatial maps for supporting insurance products using Google Earth Engine and semi-automatic techniques was conducted for participants in Pakistan as part of the project “Strengthening Post-COVID-19 Food Security and Locust Attacks”. The nine participants were from the PARC Agrotech company (PATCO) technical team and crop reporting service teams from Punjab and Sindh in Pakistan. They were introduced to remote sensing and its applications in agriculture. Hands-on training using Google Earth Engine (GEE), Image Processing Software – ERDAS 2015 and various automatic classification techniques was provided along with several applications for using these modern tools.
