International Wheat and Maize Improvement Center (CIMMYT)

The International Wheat and Maize Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is a global research organization dedicated to developing higher-yielding, more resilient wheat and maize (corn) crops. It aims to improve food security by creating better seeds that can withstand pests, diseases, and changing climate conditions. Located in Mexico, CIMMYT collaborates with scientists and farmers worldwide to ensure these essential grains can feed the growing population sustainably, helping to reduce hunger and poverty in many regions.
