So well deserved.
!Amazing contribution to global agricultural biodiversity conservation and use! Also left beautiful footprint and legacy in Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT. Congrats and huge thanks to Geoffrey Hawtin and Cary Fowler, #FoodPrize24 laureates.

Feeling invigorated and inspired after my visit to #Nigeria . WorldFish has achieved a lot in our 5 year history in the country. We will double our efforts to fill both yield and consumption gaps in the country. Kudos to our team and partners! #FishOptimism #aquaticfoods
