The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) is a global organization dedicated to improving agriculture in dry, semi-arid regions. It focuses on developing better crop varieties, farming techniques, and tools to help farmers grow more food using fewer resources. By doing so, ICRISAT aims to reduce hunger, improve livelihoods, and promote sustainable farming in resource-challenged areas across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Its work supports resilient agriculture tailored to the unique challenges of semi-arid environments, benefiting communities and the environment alike.
