CGIAR Sustainable Farming program
The CGIAR Sustainable Science Program forms a part of the CGIAR’s new Research Portfolio, addressing key challenges in agri-food systems by fostering efficient production of nutritious foods and safeguarding the environment to create fair employment opportunities, as we simultaneously tackle climate change, soil degradation, pests, diseases, and desertification.
Our work aims to help
Reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions by 15%
creating fair agricultural gain for 2 million hectares of land
providing for 5+ million farmers
Where we will work in
Bangladesh, Benin, Burundi, Cambodia, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Laos, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe
Challenges we’ll address
Need to increase nutritious food production by 60% to meet expanding population demands
20-40% reduced agricultural productivity growth because of climate change
An agricultural environmental footprint equivalent to 1/3 of annual greenhouse emissions
Persistent social inequities and an aging agricultural labor force
Exclusion of youth, women, and marginalized communities in agricultural production
