Al-Buhuth Al-Zira'iyya Expands Food Security Ties with IAEA
The article pertains to the progress achieved in the Jordanian National Project to Enhance Food Security and Food Safety through the use of nuclear techniques in agriculture, which is being implemented in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency. The project, which is ongoing until 2027, has demonstrated a 100% completion rate so far. It has resulted in the development of drought- and salt-tolerant strains of crops such as wheat, rice, and sesame, as well as improving the productivity of these crops using physical and chemical mutagenesis techniques. Achievements also include the cultivation and evaluation of advanced mutants, hosting an expert in smart agriculture to support scientific research, as well as enhancing the national seed bank and improving the biocontrol laboratory. The visit aims to strengthen partnership and knowledge exchange between the center and the international agency, with the goal of developing sustainable agricultural solutions and addressing challenges related to drought and salinity.
