Sub-Saharan Africa faces persistent challenges to agricultural productivity such as land degradation, climate change, HIV/AIDS, chronic poverty, and hunger. Sustainable agriculture and the production of nutritious staple food crops can help communities rise to these challenges. The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT, its Spanish acronym) works to reduce hunger and poverty, and improve human health in the tropics through eco-efficient agriculture. It conducts research to make smallholder food production more resilient and sustainable, and to enhance the nutritional value of food crops.
