Amhara Agricultural Research Institute(ARARI) is conducting its annual completed agricultural research activities forum in Bahirdar city as of today May 26, 2025.
In the opening session, Dr. Asimare Dejen, Director General of ARARI said that the completed research review forum is a testimony to our collective pledge to generate and innovate technologies in the region and beyond.
He reiterated that the aim of the gathering is not only to present the research results of months, and in many cases, years of demanding scientific research, but also to reflect, to discuss, and to foresee the pathways through which our findings can be translated into impactful, sustainable agricultural practices, which will boom production and productivities at farmers' condition and beyond.
Dr. Asimare emphasized that Agricultural research results must go beyond the laboratory or field plots. It must speak to the needs of farmers, contribute to food security, substitute imported agricultural products, satisfy local industry raw material demands, support environmental sustainability, and enhance livelihoods.
At ARARI, we take great pride in our researchers' dedication, the integrity of their work, and the relevance of the studies conducted. The completed research results we will hear for the next four days cover a wide range of disciplines from crop improvement (agronomy, protection are included) and soil and water management, to livestock development, and climate-smart agriculture, socioeconomics and extension last but not least is on seed research the Director General stated.
Dr. Asimare elaborated the research achievements which have been done in the last 15 years and ways forwarded to bring impactful results on the livelihood of farmers.
He stated that in the last 15 years, the Institute had conducted more than 7345 research proposals, of which 6593 (89.8%) proposals were executed. It is unfortunate that for many reasons the number of research proposals and technology generation has big gaps. In the same way, in the past 15 years, from the total technology generation planned, we achieved about 1085 generated technologies, he said. But, Dr. Asimare questioned how many of these technologies reach to the users, extensions, farmers, investors, exporters, etc.
So, Dr. Asimare encouraged the participants of the forum to engage actively, to rigorously discuss and to think creatively about how these research outputs will have meaningful impact and fill-up the existing demands of farmers, extensions and other technology users to be scaled up and translated into significant development.
Finally he expressed his gratitude to the researchers who are sharing their findings in the forum, to the Institute's partners and funders who continue to support this work, and to everyone who played a role in organizing the forum.
The completed research review forum will go on for 4 days from May 26 - 29/2015 and is expected to bring meaningful outcomes.

Science grows food; peace sustains itFood security remains one of the most pressing global challenges, especially in regions affected by conflict and environmental instability. Agricultural research plays a pivotal role in addressing this challenge by developing resilient crop varieties, sustainable farming practices, and innovative technologies tailored to local conditions. However, the effectiveness of these solutions can be undermined by conflicts, wars, and instabilities caused by many human-made issues that disrupt farming activities, displace communities, and hinder access to markets and resources. Effective conflict management strategies are essential to create an environment where agricultural innovations can thrive. By integrating agricultural research with conflict-sensitive approaches, stakeholders can ensure that interventions reach the most vulnerable populations. Collaborative efforts between governments, researchers, and communities are vital to restoring trust and fostering long-term resilience. Ultimately, the path to food security lies in harmonizing science and peacebuilding efforts. With coordinated action, we can cultivate not only thriving farms but also stable communities, paving the way for a sustainable future for all.
