The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), one of fifteen CGIAR research centers, helps to improve the lives in developing countries by encouraging more productive, sustainable maize and wheat farming. CIMMYT aims to reducing food insecurity and malnutrition, climate change and environmental destruction. CIMMYT, and its partnerships, help to build and strengthen a new generation of national agricultural research and extension services in maize- and wheat-growing nations.
