Sustainable agrifood systems (sas)the sustainable agrifood systems deliver food security and nutrition for all - without compromising the economic, social and environmental bases - for generations to come. This leads to better and resilient production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life for all.cimmyt's sustainable agrifood systems work includes discovery and development, to meet a multiplicity of goals: enhance resilience through agricultural production, profit, environmental services, social and human condition. (continued in schedule o) research and activities are carried out in close collaboration with partners, and directly support the cimmyt 2030 strategy.six principles guide our work:-strong commitment to working with local, national and international partners.-living labs that include long-term field experimentation platforms, linked to participatory on-farm research and extension that enhances stakeholder capacity and farmer agency.-documentation and sharing of knowledge generated through publications, curricula, agricultural advisory tools and recommendations, social media and more.-commitment to open data, through the generation, documentation and sharing of data following fair principles, appropriate metadata and open protocols.-scaling sustainable agriculture through innovation hub networks and public-private-civil partnerships for inclusive, demand-driven value chains.-impact pathways that promote public policies for agrifood systems that are inclusive, resilient and that address climate change.we live in a rapidly changing world. Food security is threatened by extreme climate events, price spikes, disruptions of global supply chains, and new pests and diseases.to address these challenges in an agile way, cimmyt conducts research on sustainable agrifood systems and implements projects through both cross-cutting and regional teams.cross-cutting teamscimmyt tools include crop and system modeling, farming systems, big data, geographic information systems, remote sensing and pest prediction, foresight analysis, panel surveys, socioeconomic gender-aware modeling, seed system feedback loops, inclusive value chains and participatory research.-climate change adaptation for nutrition-climate change science-data services-demand-driven seed systems-foresight and ex-ante-inclusive value chains-monitoring and adoption-science for scalingregional teamssmallholder farming systems are diverse and complex. To promote the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, cimmyt collaborates with national agricultural research and extension organizations, as well as other partners across the value chain, from farmers to companies. Cimmyt's priorities and approaches are co-developed with stakeholders by region and country, in support of:-systems science (africa, latin america, south asia)-innovations for development (africa, latin america, south asia)-partnerships (africa, latin america, south asia)
Global maize program (gmp)cimmyt develops and distributes improved maize inbred lines and hybrids to partners worldwide. This work improves the food security, incomes and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers and their families in the tropics and subtropics of africa, asia, and latin america.the objectives of cimmyt's maize breeding and seed systems work are to:-develop genetically diverse, high-yielding maize inbred lines and hybrids, combining multiple-stress tolerance, nutrient use efficiency, enhanced nutritional quality, and desirable seed production properties for target production zones. (continued in schedule o)-accelerate the rate at which the genetic potential for maize yields increases each year and improve the efficiency of maize breeding operations, through integrated application of modern tools and technologies.-deploy cimmyt-derived improved maize varieties in the tropics through public-private partnerships, while strengthening local maize seed production and delivery systems.-build local capacity - particularly of women and youth - in maize breeding and seed systems through training and knowledge exchange.cimmyt's maize breeding work aims at developing easy-to-produce, best-bet hybrids, elite maize lines, and improved open-pollinated varieties, as well as science-based recommendations for varietal targeting and improved productivity in target regions.in addition to higher grain yield, cimmyt's maize breeding teams focus on:-yield stability in stress-prone environments, through tolerance to drought, heat, and poorly fertile soils.-resistance to major diseases, insect pests, and parasitic weeds.-enhanced nutritional qualities, such as provitamin a, high-kernel zinc, and quality protein maize.
Global wheat program (gwp)demand for wheat by 2050 is predicted to increase by 50 percent from today's levels. Meanwhile, the crop is at risk from new and more aggressive pests and diseases, diminishing water resources, limited available land and unstable weather conditions-heat in particular.cimmyt's global wheat program is one of the most important public sources of high yielding, nutritious, disease- and climate-resilient wheat varieties for africa, asia and latin america. Cimmyt breeding lines can be found in varieties sown on more than 60 million hectares worldwide. (continued in schedule o)through this program, cimmyt works with more than 200 research and breeding institutions, including the international center for agriculture research in the dry areas (icarda), sharing elite breeding lines and associated data through its system of international nurseries.the wheat molecular breeding laboratory develops tools and information for breeders around the world. The wheat quality laboratory ensures that cimmyt varieties meet market demands for flour and bread quality.cimmyt's wheat research aims to:-develop climate resilient, nutritious, high yielding disease and pest tolerant wheat lines.-use the latest molecular breeding tools, bioinformatics and selection methods.-ensure that national agricultural research system partners are active participants in breeding.-apply more precise phenotyping approaches-phenotyping platforms-and other tools, like remote sensing, to develop genetically diverse wheat varieties so that globally, annual genetic yield gains of at least 0.7 percent are achieved.-provide diverse, high-yielding wheat varieties that withstand infertile soils, drought, pests and diseases.-conduct research to help farmers exploit the full potential of improved seed while conserving soil and water resources.-explore new market opportunities for smallholder farmers.-provide training opportunities in wheat breeding and crop management research.-exploit genetic variation in wheat wild relatives.cimmyt led the cgiar research program on wheat (wheat) from january 2012 through december 2021.
