ICRISAT Strategic Plan 2021-2025

Vision and Mission

CRISAT’s mission is to reduce poverty, hunger, malnutrition and

environmental degradation in the drylands.

To contribute to this mission in the period 2021 to 2025, while we continue

to envision a prosperous, food-secure and resilient drylands, we will adapt

to the changing world in which we live. We will strengthen our research and

focus on delivery to ensure increased productivity of agricultural systems

in the drylands. Our crops, all of which thrive in the drylands, are both

productive in adverse conditions and have a high nutritional content. We

will empower women as we support the diverse cropping systems in the

drylands, ensuring equitable opportunities to improve income generation at

the family and community levels through value webs of diverse production

systems and by influencing policies.

We will actively pursue the optimal management of scarce resources,

alleviate resource degradation, contribute to improved soils and adaptation

to climate change and extreme events. We will work closely with partners:

CGIAR institutes, advanced research institutes, national agricultural research

and extension systems, the private sector, non-governmental organizations

and thought leaders to ensure demand-driven and responsive agricultural

research for development to contribute to the achievement of the UN

Sustainable Development Goals.
