What we do
- Food security and nutrition
  
  CIAT develops crops, agricultural practices, interventions, and policies to maximize health and nutrition benefits.
- A better deal for farmers and consumers
  
  We move smallholder agriculture from subsistence to profit, and ensure all children, women and men have access to affordable and healthy food through sustainable food systems.
- Building resilience
  
  CIAT helps communities, regions, and countries strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to the impacts of climate change and extreme events.
- Global partnerships for impact
  Partnerships deliver impact. We acknowledge the critical role of our government partners, national research organizations and universities, non-governmental organizations, civil society, and the many farmers we work with.
