I had the opportunity to share Ethiopia’s agricultural transformation experience at “Re-Imagining Agricultural Innovation: Collaborating for a Resilient Future,” hosted by @Bayer in Chesterfield, Missouri.

Discussions highlighted breakthroughs in biological nitrogen fixation and @Bayer’s collaboration with @UCDavis and @CIMMYT to advance sustainable agriculture in Africa.

Ethiopia welcomes deeper collaboration to turn innovation into impact and build a more productive, resilient, and food-secure future for Ethiopia and Africa.
