The mission of the Consortium on Global International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) is to reduce poverty and enhance food, water, nutritional security, and environmental health in the face of global challenges, including climate change. It operates worldwide through a network of 15 international research centers. One of these institutions, The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has focused on dryland agriculture in the Mediterranean region, specifically in West Asia–North Africa (WANA). Soil fertility, agronomy, and crop nutrition were key areas of its research program. This mini review highlights the research achievements at ICARDA with respect to nitrogen, phosphorus, micronutrients, nutrient dynamics, fertilizer use, soil testing, sustainable cropping and/or crop rotations, and conservation tillage. Despite the destruction of the Center's headquarters in the ongoing civil war and its dispersion in the region, the legacy of ICARDA will survive through documentation of its research in the international literature.

土壤肥力，作物营养和种植系统：地中海旱地农业研究

全球国际农业研究联盟（CGIAR）的任务是在面对包括气候变化在内的全球挑战的情况下减少贫困并增强粮食，水，营养安全和环境健康。它通过15个国际研究中心组成的网络在全球范围内运作。这些机构之一是国际干旱地区农业研究中心（ICARDA），其重点是地中海地区，特别是西亚-北非（WANA）的干旱地区农业。土壤肥力，农学和作物营养是其研究计划的关键领域。这份小型回顾着重介绍了ICARDA在氮，磷，微量营养素，营养素动态，肥料使用，土壤测试，可持续作物和/或作物轮作以及保护性耕作方面的研究成就。
