关于我们
The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) is a non-profit, non-political organization that conducts agricultural research for development in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa with a wide array of partners throughout the world. Covering 6.5 million square kilometers of land in 55 countries, the semi-arid or dryland tropics has over 2 billion people, and 644 million of these are the poorest of the poor. ICRISAT and its partners help empower these poor people to overcome poverty, hunger and a degraded environment through better agriculture. ICRISAT is headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, with two regional hubs and six country offices in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a member of the CGIAR Consortium. CGIAR is a global agriculture research partnership for a food secure future. Its science is carried out by the 15 research centers who are members of the CGIAR Consortium in collaboration with hundreds of partner organizations. www.cgiar.org ICRISAT conducts research protecting the environment.Dryland agriculture has long been viewed with pessimism and hopelessness. Tropical dryland areas are usually seen as resource-poor and perennially beset by shocks such as drought, trapping dryland communities in poverty and hunger and dependent on external aid. ICRISAT challenges this pessimistic view. Working with diverse partners in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa for almost four decades, ICRISAT has found that dryland farmers are ingenious and resourceful. By applying scientific innovations backed up with adequate policy, Vision, mission and approach ICRISAT envisions a prosperous, food-secure and resilient dryland tropics. To achieve this, our mission is to reduce poverty, hunger, malnutrition and environmental degradation in the dryland tropics. Our approach is through partnership-based international agricultural research-for-development that embodies Science with a Human Face. https://www.icrisat.org https://exploreit.icrisat.org

Principal Scientist and Global Chickpea Breeding Lead/Head, Pearl Millet Genomics & Molecular Breeding, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Hyderabad, India
Delighted to have met Prof. Nigussie Dechassa Robi, Director General of @EthiopianInstituteOfAgriculturalResearch (EIAR), to build on more than 40 years of EIAR-ICRISAT partnership and explore new research collaborations. We discussed initiatives to enhance chickpea breeding programs, climate adaptation, one health, and capacity building to drive sustainable agricultural growth in Ethiopia. Also had the pleasure of discussing areas of mutual interest in chickpea breeding with the scientists from @DebreZeitAgriculturalResearchCentre (DZARC). With EIAR's support, ICRISAT is committed to establishing the Centre of Excellence for Chickpea Improvement (CECI) in Ethiopia, bolstering the country's food and nutrition security. #AgriculturalResearch #Partnership #FoodSecurity #ChickpeaImprovement #Ethiopia #ICRISAT #EIAR #DZARC
