It details a partnership between the CGIAR, the Centers and the Global Crop Diversity Trust.Item Financial Support to the CGIAR Center Genebanks in 2011(Internal Document, 2011-03-01) CGIAR Consortium BoardThis is a proposal to seek financing from the CGIAR Fund for the CGIAR centers’ cost of maintaining and distributing CGIAR crop genetic resources, and to cover one-third of the one-time costs of optimizing the existing collections and introducing additional accessions from the regeneration project. These activities’ costs were identified and calculated in the 2010 genebank costing study which was commissioned jointly by the Consortium Office and the Global Crop Diversity Trust, in collaboration with the ten CGIAR centers that house crop germplasm. This proposal is to finance the 2011 costs for these activities at the CGIAR centers.Item CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security(Proposal, 2011-01-10) CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food SecurityThis program aims to support food security, enhanced livelihoods, and improved environmental management in the face of climate change. It will offer developing country farmers new options for adapting to the emerging impacts of climate change and for mitigating climate change through a “carbon-friendly” agriculture that also strengthens food security and reduces poverty. The research will focus on adaptation through better management of agricultural risks associated with increased climate variability and extreme events; accelerated adaptation to progressive climate change via technology, agronomy, and policy options; and mitigation strategies that reduce poverty among the rural poor, including investments in technological innovation and agricultural intensification.Item CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry(Proposal, 2011-02-01) CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and AgroforestryThis program will reinvigorate efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation and expand the use of trees on farms. The initiative is focused on the critical importance of forests as natural “carbon sinks” that can help slow the pace of climate change and the need to conserve biodiversity. The program aims to improve the governance and management of forests, trees, and agroforestry and to increase their productivity and value. It will also help forest-dependent communities adapt to climate change. The initiative will focus on areas where forests and agroforests that play a major role in local livelihoods and carbon sequestration (or other environmental services) are under severe pressure from timber extraction, agriculture expansion, or other threats.Item CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems(Proposal, 2011-09-26) CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and EcosystemsThis research program seeks to learn how to intensify farming activities, expand agricultural areas, and restore degraded lands while using natural resources wisely, minimizing harmful impacts on supporting ecosystems, and lifting millions of farm families out of poverty. The initiative takes a river basin and landscape view of these issues to provide solutions to widespread declines in soil fertility, water scarcity, and land degradation, including erosion and salinization. The program will consider how resources can be accessed and shared equitably, better governed, and more effectively managed by developing and adopting evidence-based approaches to increasing food production, improving livelihoods, and delivering ecosystem services, such as clean water and habitat, sustainably.Item CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health(Proposal, 2011-10-01) CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and HealthThis research program aims to accelerate progress in improving the nutrition and health of poor people by exploiting and enhancing the synergies between agriculture, nutrition, and health through four key research components. The initiative will focus on opportunities to improve nutrition along value chains to increase the poor’s access to nutritious food; improve the availability, access, and consumption of nutrient-rich, biofortified staple foods for the poor; address food safety issues, including the control of zoonotic diseases and better management of agricultural systems to reduce health risks; and foster integration of agriculture, nutrition, and health development programs and policies.Item CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish(Proposal, 2011-03-05) CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and FishThis program aims to boost the productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems in order to increase the availability and affordability of meat, milk, and fish for poor consumers, especially women and children, and to raise incomes among smallholders . In doing so, it expects to reduce malnutrition, as well as cut poverty through greater participation by the poor along animal-source food value chains. To help these value chains perform better, the program will identify and address key constraints and opportunities, improve institutional arrangements and capacities, and support the establishment of enabling pro-poor policy and institutional environments.Item CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Cereals(Proposal, 2012-02-01) CGIAR Research Program on Dryland CerealsThis program is focused on improving the productivity and profitability of four major cereal crops—barley, finger millet, pearl millet, and sorghum—that are commonly grown in the drylands of Asia and Africa. Research will focus on three major interventions: producing well-adapted, higher yielding varieties with better disease resistance and tolerance to abiotic stresses; developing improved crop management technologies that are suited to dryland ecologies to get more out of existing and improved varieties; and fostering more efficient and effective systems for getting improved technologies into the hands of smallholder farmers. The goal is to achieve farm-level impacts and ultimately increase incomes, reduce rural poverty, improve food and nutrition security, and reduce adverse environmental impacts.Item CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes(Proposal, 2012-02-01) International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics; International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas; International Center for Tropical Agriculture; International Institute of Tropical Agriculture; CGIAR Research Program on Grain LegumesThis program will apply crop improvement and related high-priority value-chain interventions to maximize the benefits that grain legumes offer to smallholder farmers, especially women. The program aims to increase their incomes, secure their food supplies, improve their nutrition, and sustainably intensify farming systems by overcoming past challenges and constraints. Research will focus on conserving genetic resources, developing novel breeding methods, accelerating the development of more productive and nutritious cultivars, promoting crop and pest management practices, developing and facilitating efficient legume seed production and delivery systems for smallholder farmers, and enhancing value chain benefits for the poor.Item CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas(Proposal, 2011-09-27) CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and BananasThis program will conduct research on various roots, tubers, and bananas to more fully realize the potential of these crops for improving nutrition, income generation, and food security among poor and vulnerable people, including women. Researchers and their partners will focus on conserving and accessing genetic resources; accelerating the development of improved varieties; managing priority pests and diseases; making available low-cost, high-quality planning materials for farmers; developing tools for more productive, ecologically robust cropping systems, and promoting postharvest technologies, value chains, and market opportunities.Item CGIAR Research Program on Rice(Proposal, 2010-09-15) CGIAR Research Program on RiceThis program, also known as GRiSP, is designed to increase rice productivity and value for the poor, and improve the sustainable management of water and other resources on which rice production depends. Through a single strategic plan and new alliance that involves more than 900 partners worldwide, GRiSP will deploy rice genetic diversity, while promoting simultaneous revolutions in rice agronomy, processing, and policy. The partnership will harness the genetic diversity of rice to improve productivity, quality, and health; accelerate development, delivery, and adoption of improved rice varieties; and extract more value from rice harvests through improved quality, processing, markets, and new products.
