ICRISAT

ICRISAT is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming dryland agriculture in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. With a focus on empowering the poorest communities, the institute conducts agricultural research and collaborates with a wide array of partners across 55 countries. Established in 1972, ICRISAT challenges the pessimistic view of dryland agriculture and aims to reduce poverty, hunger, malnutrition, and environmental degradation in the dryland tropics. Headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, with regional hubs and country offices in sub-Saharan Africa, ICRISAT is a member of the CGIAR Consortium, a global agricultural research partnership. The institute's vision is to create a prosperous, food-secure, and resilient dryland tropics through science-backed innovations and partnerships. ICRISAT's mission embodies 'Science with a Human Face' and focuses on research to protect the environment in these challenging regions.
