shifting from the periphery of global attention to becoming central to the future of food security under a changing climate. Home to 44% of the world\u2019s food systems, nearly half of the world\u2019s livestock, and a third of the global population, their natural resources sustain the food security and livelihoods of 70% of the people who live there. Yet every day, these resources are decreasing. Up to 35% of the drylands are degraded, and an estimated 700 million people face displacement by 2030 due to water scarcity.<\/p><p>Recognizing the urgency of these challenges, ICARDA co-led the development of a new global collaborative vision \u2013 CGIAR\u2019s Global Strategy for Resilient Drylands \u2013 and launched a bold institutional roadmap in 2024. Combined, they will usher in a new era grounded in science and partnerships to deliver the research and innovations that vulnerable dryland populations need, more quickly and cost-effectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-131e8059 e-grid e-con-boxed
