An independent study found that agricultural innovations from the CGIAR have reached nearly 80% of rural households in Ethiopia over the past 20 years. The study identified 52 innovations from CGIAR in crop improvement, animal agriculture, and natural resource management that were integrated into national surveys in Ethiopia. These surveys found that between 4.1 and 11 million rural Ethiopian households adopted CGIAR innovations, demonstrating the significant role of CGIAR research in Ethiopia's agricultural development.
