ICARDA\u2019s SWA team supported the development of the One CGIAR Excellence in Agronomy (EiA) and Nexus Gains initiatives. EiA aims to deliver agronomic gains for smallholder farming households in prioritized farming systems, emphasizing the measurable impact of women and young farmers on food and nutrition security, income, water use, soil health, and climate resilience. \nSWA is leading its Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) regional team, focusing on Egypt and Morocco. Meanwhile, the Nexus Gains initiative focuses on Sudan and Uzbekistan by generating outputs via four work packages and a cross-cutting capacity development program across water, energy, food, forests, and biodiversity systems. <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .sina-title -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5a0c126d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5a0c126d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-750ae3b3\" data-id=\"750ae3b3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19685cf3 elementor-tabs-view-horizontal elementor-widget elementor-widget-tabs\" data-id=\"19685cf3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tabs.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4261\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4261\" aria-expanded=\"false\">FAO\/ICARDA evapotranspiration<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4262\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4262\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Egypt innovation<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4263\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4263\" aria-expanded=\"false\"> Precision-farming India<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4264\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4264\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Morocco conservation agriculture <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4265\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4265\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Lentil-quinoa in WOCAT<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-content-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4261\" aria-expanded=\"false\">FAO\/ICARDA evapotranspiration<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4261\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4261\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"false\"><p>ICARDA\u2019s SWA team, led by Dr. Vinay Nangia, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), produced a popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icarda.org\/media\/news\/icardafao-successful-evapotranspiration-measurement-webinars\">six-part webinar series<\/a> on state-of-the-art evapotranspiration (ET) measurement methods, which attracted over 1,700 international and regional participants.<\/p><p>\u00a0Given climate impacts of heat and water scarcity, accurately measuring the ET of crops is a vital aspect of crop planning and agronomy.
