Bram Govaerts is the Director General of CIMMYT. CIMMYT is an international non-profit organisation working towards a more productive, inclusive, and resilient agri-food system by improving the quantity, quality, and dependability of production systems and basic cereals such as maize, wheat, triticale, sorghum, millets, and more, through applied agricultural science and strong partnerships.

In this episode, Bram discusses CIMMYT’s evolution from an organisation trying to improve crops to an organisation trying to improve global agricultural practices. Bram emphasises the importance of agriculture in tackling poverty and food insecurity, outlines how complex issues such as climate change, resource management, and nutrition impact agricultural practices, and reflects on how we will look back on the decisions we make now with the benefit of knowledge and hindsight.
