Editor's Notes
- By 2035, research on rice will increase farmers’ yields and lower prices for poor consumers, lifting 150 million people out of poverty and reducing the number of undernourished people in Asia by 62 million. By 2020, 12 million households in Africa will have access to sustainable irrigation, thanks to research on water, land and ecosystems. By 2018, 50 million people will have access to staple food crops specifically bred to be rich in key vitamins and minerals – namely, iron, zinc or vitamin A – in an effort to combat malnutrition. By 2022, fish production and fish farm employment will increase by 30% in Egypt, doubling the productivity of more than 6,000 fish farms. In addition, agriculture, where women already bore the biggest share of the burden, is becoming further feminized. Therefore, CGIAR research pays special attention to the needs of women in rural areas, and is exploring ways to raise their income and nutritional outcomes through system-wide gender strategies.
- In the 1970’s, when the world was equally worried, or perhaps even more worried, about global food security - particularly about famines in Asia - the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations took the initiative to make major investments in agricultural innovation. They set-up international agricultural research institutes for commodities, such as rice, wheat, maize, and potatoes, for tropical agriculture, and for dry areas. These institutes became CGIAR, the world’s leading agricultural research partnership, working towards a food secure future. With their partners, CGIAR Centers developed high yielding varieties for staple cereals that were the engine of the Green Revolution, that helped prevent famines in Asia, and led to abundant food and low food prices for several decades.
