Crucial funding from CGIAR Fund Donors and other generous supporters allows the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and its partners worldwide to offer farmers in developing countries innovative technology and knowledge. Through this work, farmers are better equipped to address the shocks of shifting markets, climate change, rising grain demand, land degradation and resource scarcities.
At stake are nothing less than local food security and nutrition and the capacity to feed a global population of at least 9 billion by 2050.
