CIMMYT AT A GLANCE
CIMMYT works to develop more productive and sustainable food systems in low- and middle-income countries. The center’s research portfolio squarely targets critical challenges, including food insecurity and malnutrition, climate change, and environmental degradation. By working in multidisciplinary large-scale projects and with partner organizations, CIMMYT comprehends challenges better and is able to develop more effective solutions.
CIMMYT contributes to the development of a world within healthier and more prosperous people - free from the threat of global food crises - and with more resilient agrifood systems.
