International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)

The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) is a global organization that focuses on improving agriculture in dry, semi-arid regions. Its goal is to develop and promote better seeds, farming techniques, and sustainable practices to help farmers produce more food, cope with droughts, and improve livelihoods. ICRISAT works mainly in tropical areas like parts of Africa, India, and Latin America, partnering with local communities, governments, and scientists to address challenges like climate change, water scarcity, and soil health.
