    Driven by our vision of a world where all people have viable livelihoods supported by healthy and productive landscapes, our global team of science, research, development, institutional and resource professionals seeks to better combine the science of discovery with the science of delivery. To realize this vision, we focus on four key interacting themes: By combining more productive trees with more resilient and profitable agricultural systems and a sounder understanding of the health of the soil, land and people that is part of ‘greener’, better governed landscapes, we offer valuable and timely knowledge products and services to the global community as it tackles the major challenges of the Anthropocene. These include dealing with climate change; low soil carbon; widespread forest, tree and soil loss leading to degradation; poverty; demographic upheavals and conflict; and securing equitable futures for all with a special focus on women and children.

Region
South America,
A trial with sheep (housed in metabolic cages, and fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas) fed sun-dried forage of two Calliandra calothyrsus provenances (San Ramon —CIAT 22310 and Patulul CIAT— 22316) harvested in sites with contrasting soil fertility was carried out to further define the biological significance of the different chemical structure in the tannin of Calliandra provenances. Six African-type sheep were assigned to one of four treatments (T1: San Ramón grown in Quilichao with infertile soils, T2: Patulul grown in Quilichao with infertile soils, T3: San Ramón grown in Palmira with fertile soils, and T4: Patulul grown in Palmira with fertile soils) arranged in an Unbalanced Simple Crossover Design. Results showed that extractable tannins in Patulul comprised mainly procyanidin subunits, whereas the tannin fraction in San Ramón was composed largely of prodelphinidin subunits. The DM intake and digestibility of Calliandra were greater (P<0.05) with San Ramón than with Patulul. Intake was also greater (P<0.05) with provenances harvested in the site with fertile soil than in the site with acid soils. Absolute and relative values of ruminal escape dietary N in sheep were greater (P<0.05) with San Ramón than with Patulul, which is consistent with laboratory results on tannin astringency. Thus for the first time we have evidence suggesting that the chemical structure of condensed tannins in tropical legumes can have an effect on N utilization by ruminants. The fact that in vivo results on ruminal escape N were in close agreement with results on astringency of extractable condensed tannins from Calliandra provenances validates the use of laboratory astringency tests for screening tropical legumes with tannins for quality traits. = Para poder definir mejor el significado biológico de la diferente estructura química de los taninos de dos procedencias (San Ramon – CIAT 22310 y Patulul – CIAT 22316) de Calliandra calothyrsus se realizó un ensayo de alimentación con ovinos fistulados en el rumen y duodeno, alojados en jaula metabólica y alimentados con forraje seco al sol de las dos procedencias de Calliandra cosechadas en sitios con suelos de fertilidad contrastante. Seis ovinos de pelo tipo Africano se asignaron al azar a 4 tratamientos (T1: -San Ramón cosechada en Quilichao con suelos de baja fertilidad, T2: –Patulul cosechada en Quilichao con suelos de baja fertilidad, T3: -San Ramón cosechada en Palmira con suelos fértiles, y T4: –Patulul cosechada en Palmira con suelos fertiles) dispuestos en un diseño Reversible Simple no Balanceado. Los resultados mostraron que el consumo de MS y la digestibilidad de Calliandra fueron mayores (P<0.05) con la procedencia San Ramón que con la procedencia Patulul, y que el consumo también fue mayor (P<0.05) con el forraje cosechado en el sitio con suelos más fértiles. Los valores absolutos y relativos de proteína del forraje que escapo degradación en el rumen (proteína de escape o sobrepasante) fueron mayores (P<0.05) con la procedencia San Ramón que con Patulul, lo cual es consistente con resultados de astringencia de los taninos de las dos procedencias medida en el laboratorio. Por lo tanto, por primera vez tenemos evidencia que sugiere que la estructura química de los taninos de leguminosas tropicales puede tener un efecto en la utilización de nitrógeno por rumiantes. El hecho de que los resultados de proteína sobrepasante medidos in vivo estuvieran de acuerdo con los resultados de astringencia de taninos de las procedencias de Calliandra determinadas en el laboratorio, valida el uso de estos métodos de astringencia para la selección de leguminosas tropicales por calidad nutritiva.
