Happy 2018 New Year from #Ethiopia.

It is a great privilege to represent @ICRISAT as Chief Guest for Inauguration Ceremony of the 2nd International Conference on “Frontiers in #Science and #Technology for Agricultural Transformation”. @NaarmIcar @icarindia #foodsecurity #agricukture #transformingdrylandagriculture

Watching THE @WillieNelson #FarmAid40 here in #Hyderabad #India. The people who feed us have so many headwinds - trade policy, input costs, infrastructure & equipment through the roof - everywhere. U.S. news is dire - but not limited to there. #FarmAid #farmaid2025 #agriculture

Welcome to Country ceremony. #Australia

Today our research campus is a #Bollywood movie set.

Constructive and beneficial discussion with Minister of Agriculture, Cooperation and Marketing Hon. Thummala Nageswara Rao. We appreciate the advice and support provided to ICRISAT as a continuing partnership with the Government of #Telangana . #transformingdrylandagriculture

Went for a bike ride at our international agricultural research station - in the monsoon rain - here in India!

It is a good night to see the #BlloodMoon #TotalLunarEclipse here in Hyderabad, India.

Spotted dove interrupting my work day in the best possible way. #ornithology #hyderabad #india (Please excuse my Cameroonian “lost wax” brass figures - representing the Fon and his court.)

Seen while cycling today on the ICRISAT farm. #raptor
