ICRISAT Capability Statement 2022
About us
The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics
(ICRISAT) is a pioneering, international scientific research for
development organization, specializing in improving dryland farming
and agri-food systems. The Institute was established as an international
organization in 1972, by a Memorandum of Agreement between the
Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research and the
Government of India.
ICRISAT works with global partners to develop innovative science-
backed solutions to overcome hunger, malnutrition, poverty and
environmental degradation, serving the 2.1 billion people who reside
in the drylands of Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. The Institute is
headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India and has regional centers
in Mali and Kenya, with dedicated research stations in Niger, Nigeria,
Malawi, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania and Senegal.
ICRISAT’s areas of specialization include:
•
A deep understanding of the issues and challenges inherent in the drylands
which exhibit some of the harshest environments globally. These socio-
physical environments contribute to consistently low human development
outcomes and pose profound challenges to attaining the UN Sustainable
Development Goals.
•
A focus on the most resilient, climate smart and nutritious legumes and cereal
crops critical to the drylands – chickpea, pigeonpea, groundnut, sorghum, pearl
millet, finger millet and small millets.
•
A collection of one of the broadest diversities of genetic resources of our
speciality crops which are used to enhance the crops with which we work.
•
Recognized world class research across a wide array of specialities ranging
from genomics, gene editing, modern crop breeding, natural resource
management, seed systems, climate smart agriculture, digital solutions to
informing policy on improved markets and institutions.
•
A web / value chain approach with vast experience across agricultural
production systems and food value chains.
•
A strong focus on delivery and innovations at scale.
•
A profound understanding of the interventions required to attain the UN
Sustainable Development Goals related to our mission.
