New Publication
When Disaster Strikes: A Guide to Assessing
Seed System Security
 This
field manual is a practical assessment tool for emergency relief agencies
and their field workers. It will help them to decide whether a seed-related
intervention is warranted in the first place, and if so, to design the
best strategy to help farmers. The method is laid out in seven steps.
Each includes how-to notes, guiding questions, and action checklists.
Besides helping agencies understand and cope with acute stresses on seed
systems, the guide also tackles the issue of longer-term stresses and
how to take advantage of development opportunities.

New Module
for Graduate Course in Rural Business Development
 CIAT
and the Tropical Agronomic Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE)
have worked together since 2002 to create and implement a Diploma
Course in Rural Business Development. Starting this year, the course
will have a new module on Business Orientation and Managerial Capacities
of Associative Enterprises in Rural Areas, which will be held from 16
to 27 June 2008 at CIAT's headquarters in Palmira, Colombia.
Registrations are open until 28 May.

News Releases
CIAT's New E-Newsletter
CIAT's new quarterly e-newsletter "Challenges & Innovations"
was launched last 12 August in replacement of its previous bulletin,
CIAT-News, and distributed to a vast audience of over 36,000 subscribers,
including researchers, donors, NARS, and stakeholders of different
countries.
This e-newsletter, also published in Spanish, aims to become one
of the Center's main communication channels to disseminate the advances
and impact of its research in the tropics.
See the News Release.
CIAT-Led Institutional
Knowledge Sharing Project of the CGIAR Delivers Promising Results
CIAT has been leading the Knowledge
Sharing (KS) Project of the CGIAR
on behalf of the ICT-KM
Program since 2004. With a key objective to encourage open and inclusive
sharing of knowledge, expertise and experiences among CGIAR staff and
research partners, the Program’s knowledge sharing work is aimed
at supporting learning and change to improve the effectiveness and impact
of CGIAR work.
See the News Release.
Rice
Growers Will Promote a "Technological Revolution" to Confront
the World's Food Crisis
The Latin American rice sector is committed to joining efforts to
confront the current world food crisis. It will promote a technological
revolution as the only viable solution for meeting regional demand
for rice over the long term and for contributing towards supplying
the world with one of humanity's staple grains.
The announcement was made in Guayaquil, Ecuador, during the XXIII
Meeting of the Administrative Committee of the Latin American Fund
for Irrigated Rice (FLAR, its Spanish acronym). The Fund brings together
22 public and private institutions of 15 countries, and their strategic
partner, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT,
its Spanish acronym).

the News Release.
US Patent Office Rejects
US Company's Patent Protection for Bean Commonly Grown by Latin American
Farmers
Controversial Court Patent Case for Simple Yellow Legume has Become
Rallying Point for "Biopiracy" Concerns
 The
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
today rejected all of the patent claims for a common yellow bean that
has been a familiar staple in Latin American diets for more than a
century.
See
the News Release.
Partnership with TTDI
to Enhance Cassava Production and Farmer Livelihoods in Thailand
CIAT scientists are developing new cassava varieties that will enable
smallholder farmers in Thailand to produce more revenue. A five-year
collaboration with Bangkok-based Thai Tapioca Development Institute
(TTDI) aims to adapt cassava to growing conditions in Thailand while
optimizing its marketability.

the News Release.
Research Examines Seed-Aid
Effectiveness
Findings Already Influencing Policies of Donor and Recipient Governments
 Emergency
seed aid, a critical intervention during times of crisis for farmers
in the developing world, has had a range of unexpected effects—and
the easiest solution, seed handouts, is rarely the best, according
to a new paper published today in The Journal of Development Studies.
See
the News Release.
Dr. Hawtin Continues
as CIAT DG
 The
Board of Trustees of CIAT unanimously confirmed the continued appointment
of Dr. Geoff Hawtin as CIAT Director General (DG) pending the selection
of a new DG in early 2009.
