Cactus pear - the green gold

ICARDA has released part one of a three-video series on cactus pear production, aimed at farmers in dry regions. The series promotes best-agronomic practices to improve productivity and enhance the quality of the crop at low cost.

2021 is the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV) by the UN General Assembly.  Several events throughout the year will be dedicated to raising awareness about the important role of fruits and vegetables in human nutrition, food security and health. There will be a special focus on neglected and under-utilized species, within which cactus pear (Opuntia ficus indica) plays an important nutritive and economic role.
