The document summarizes the Bhoochetana program in Karnataka which used GIS soil maps and fertilizer recommendations to help bridge yield gaps for rainfed crops. The program took a holistic approach to upgrading rainfed agriculture through capacity building and sharing results. It concluded that secondary and micronutrients were needed for soils, improved practices could boost productivity potential, and Bhoochetana led to 5% agricultural growth and over $1 billion in benefits over 4 years proving to be a scalable model for sustainable intensification.

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.
