The annual meeting conference for the Blue Nile Journal of Agricultural Research (BNJAR) Advisory Board took place on Monday, April 14, 2025, at the venue of Amhara Agricultural Research Institute (ARARI). Dr. Hailu Kendie, Editor-in-chief of BNJAR, presented the annual report that elaborates on activities that have been done so far to improve the quality and acceptance of the journal. The gathering served as a pivotal moment for all involved members to convene, deliberate, and strategize on the future directions and initiatives of the journal, fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and innovation within the agricultural research community.
The Editor-in-Chief, known for his expertise and dedication in the field, led the reports with a profound sense of purpose, encapsulating the essence of BNJAR's commitment to advancing agricultural knowledge and practices. Overall, the event exemplified the journal's unwavering dedication to excellence and its role as a premier platform for disseminating cutting-edge research and insights that contribute to the sustainable growth and development of agricultural practices in Ethiopia and beyond.
The Journal Advisory Board achieved important milestones through a series of critical decisions that were vital in attracting the attention of the scientific community. As a result of these decisions, researchers were encouraged to actively participate and submit their papers for publication in the journal. The Board's strategic initiatives effectively positioned the journal as a favorable and respected platform for scholars to communicate their findings and contribute to the academic discourse. This proactive approach not only facilitated increased engagement from the research community but also enhanced the journal's reputation as a reputable publication outlet.
BNJAR stands as a reputable, peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to disseminating top-tier research in the field of agricultural sciences. As a publication overseen by ARARI since its inception in 2019, the journal serves as an invaluable platform for researchers, scholars, and practitioners looking to share their insights and discoveries within the realm of agriculture. Through a lens focusing on sustainability, innovation, and collaboration, BNJAR endeavors to push the boundaries of agricultural knowledge and provide solutions to pertinent challenges faced not only in Ethiopia but globally.
The journal's broad range of content, comprising full-length research articles, review pieces, and informative short communications, tackles diverse subjects including crop science, soil science, animal science, agricultural economics, and beyond. With issues published biannually in both print and online mediums, the team is diligently working towards releasing volume 6, issue 1 by July 2025, promising a wealth of impactful research contributions for readers and the agricultural community as a whole.

Science grows food; peace sustains itFood security remains one of the most pressing global challenges, especially in regions affected by conflict and environmental instability. Agricultural research plays a pivotal role in addressing this challenge by developing resilient crop varieties, sustainable farming practices, and innovative technologies tailored to local conditions. However, the effectiveness of these solutions can be undermined by conflicts, wars, and instabilities caused by many human-made issues that disrupt farming activities, displace communities, and hinder access to markets and resources. Effective conflict management strategies are essential to create an environment where agricultural innovations can thrive. By integrating agricultural research with conflict-sensitive approaches, stakeholders can ensure that interventions reach the most vulnerable populations. Collaborative efforts between governments, researchers, and communities are vital to restoring trust and fostering long-term resilience. Ultimately, the path to food security lies in harmonizing science and peacebuilding efforts. With coordinated action, we can cultivate not only thriving farms but also stable communities, paving the way for a sustainable future for all.
