17 Sustainable Development Goals with emphasis on
sustainable and equitable food systems
We believe all people have a right to nutritious food
and better livelihoods
ICRISAT works in the dryland tropics of
sub-Saharan Africa and Asia to:
Our research activities are focused on crops of immense value to the
nutrition and economics of the semi-arid tropics – dryland cereals
(sorghum and millets) and grain legumes (chickpea, pigeonpea and
groundnut).

Broader
community
ICRISAT has built a large network of delivery partners
capable of identifying and equipping lead farmers …
… who rapidly mobilized others in their community to
adopt new varieties, thereby motivating seed companies
to produce, promote and distribute improved varieties
Science of Delivery and Adoption
Lead farmers have interest
and capacity to assist
others in community, are
influential and trusted,
and can take risk with
testing new technologies
Boundary partners are
community based NGOs
& government extension
system with aligned
goals
Participatory Variety Selection – asking the farm
family what they want in a new variety
