Description

The 10th volume of the In Focus magazine marks a significant milestone since its inception in 2014, celebrating years of development and governance storytelling. Anchored by the theme, "EXEMPLAR: Stories of Innovation and Change In Focus," this volume presents nine unique narratives told through diverse forms such as feature articles, infographics, and photo essays—each written and conceptualized by CPAf's faculty members and researchers. At the heart of this celebratory issue is the special cover story, "Development and Governance Through the Years: As Reflected in the Stories of the In Focus Magazine," which reflects on the magazine's role in making research results more accessible to the public, capitalizing on storytelling through words and visuals. Complementing this centerpiece are stories ranging from innovations addressing food safety and child malnutrition to the integration of AI in modern education and timely mentoring that empowers farmers. The issue also captures key lessons from international benchmarking activities and honors the successes of CPAf's students, faculty members, and alumni, weaving these narratives into a unified vision of innovation and change.
