ICARDA’s research priorities for sustainable agricultural development in the highlands of the
CWANA region. The highlands of Iran, Morocco and Turkey were just envisaged as three
platforms to review and assess the potential and constraints facing sustainable agricultural
development and help preparing collaborative regional research projects on highlands of the
