International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)

The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), one of fifteen CGIAR Research Centers, develops crops, agricultural practices, interventions, and policies to maximize health and nutrition benefits. CIAT works in collaboration with hundreds of partners to help developing countries make farming more competitive, profitable, and resilient through smarter, more sustainable natural resource management. CIAT helps policymakers, scientists, and farmers respond to some of the most pressing challenges of our time, including food insecurity and malnutrition, climate change, and environmental degradation.
