The DAAD-SEARCA In-Country/In-Region Scholarship Programme Southeast Asia for AY 2025-2026 is now accepting applications.

The submission deadline for applications is 20 November 2024 (via DAAD portal).

The AJAD 20th Anniversary Issue, with the theme "Asian Agriculture and Development in a Dynamic and Volatile Landscape of Demands, Peoples, and Risks," features articles from three senior members of our Editorial Board, namely C. Peter Timmer, James Roumasset, and David Dawe, who take both a retrospective and forward-looking view at agriculture in Asia. Five more papers from other prominent experts complete this special AJAD issue, with which we hope to provide our readers and subscribers an engaging variety of relevant, useful, and even practical knowledge to students, educators, researchers, practitioners, advocates, and policymakers alike.

The International Conference on Micro-credentials and Research for Food Security and Climate Change (ICMCRFSCC) seeks to bring together educators, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to exchange insights and practices on how to address these urgent issues.

Envisioning itself as becoming a leading enabler and champion of excellence in agricultural and rural development in Southeast Asia, SEARCA will establish the Consortium for Agricultural Development, Research, and Extension in Southeast Asia or CADRE. CADRE, as the word implies, will be a network of high-caliber, like-minded institutions with a unified goal of driving agricultural transformation toward sustainable and inclusive development in Southeast Asia.

In July 2020, SEARCA embarked on its five-year (2020-2025) mission, which focuses on Accelerating Transformation Through Agricultural INnovation (ATTAIN) and aims to deliver BETTER, BIGGER, and SMARTER impacts and outcomes to agricultural and rural development stakeholders across Southeast Asia.
