ICRISAT Capability Statement 2022

Addressing Climate Change

Climate change is arguably one of the greatest challenges facing agricultural production in the

drylands of Africa, Asia and other parts of the world where crop seasons are short and rainfall is

highly variable. ICRISAT works with multiple partners to develop climate resilient dryland crops

through an array of climate-smart technologies.

Overcoming Poverty

We create long-term science-backed solutions to overcoming poverty in the drylands by helping

smallholder farmers transition from subsistence farming to surplus farming and making farming

more profitable.

Championing Gender Equality

ICRISAT recognizes that women make up more than half the work force in smallholder dryland

farming. Gender is a cross cutting theme across all of our work with the aim of empowering women

in social and economic participation and decision making at all levels.

Partnerships

ICRISAT leverages strategic partnerships to capitalize on the natural synergies and expertise

between organizations for greater impact. One of our strengths is the depth and diversity of our

partnerships across the public and private sectors.

Overcoming Hunger and Malnutrition

Central to ICRISAT’s work is overcoming hunger, especially among the most vulnerable. Our

scientific research is designed to increase both nutritional quality and quantity of food available

through increased crop yields.
