Item CIAT in Review. Annual Report 2017-2018. Building a Sustainable Food Future.(Report, 2018) International Center for Tropical AgricultureItem The Impacts of CIAT’s Collaborative Research(Report, 2017) International Center for Tropical AgricultureThe International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) is celebrating 50 years of collaborative work with hundreds of partners across the tropics. During 50 years, CIAT has led the development and dissemination of technologies, innovative methods, and new knowledge that better enable farmers to enhance eco-efficiency in agriculture and contribute to building a sustainable food future. CIAT scientists have compiled an impressive record of achievements. In the interests of accountability to donors and other stakeholders, and to help lead the Center’s strategic research investments, they have also devoted considerable effort to measure the economic impact of their work. This document reports some of the main impacts of CIAT’s collaborative research, highlights key initiatives whose impacts have yet to be assessed, and describes several new studies and other efforts aimed to strengthen capacity for economic analysis.Item Los impactos de la investigación colaborativa del CIAT(Report, 2017) International Center for Tropical AgricultureEl Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) está celebrando 50 años de trabajo colaborativo con cientos de socios en los trópicos. Durante 50 años, el CIAT ha liderado el desarrollo y difusión de tecnologías, métodos innovadores y nuevos conocimientos que contribuyen para que los productores logren la eco-eficiencia en la agricultura y puedan aportar a la sostenibilidad alimentaria futura. Los científicos del CIAT han acumulado un récord impresionante de logros. Para efectos de rendición de cuentas ante donantes y otros grupos interesados, y para contribuir a orientar las inversiones estratégicas del Centro en materia de investigación, han dedicado además esfuerzos considerables para cuantificar el impacto económico de su trabajo. Este documento presenta algunos de los principales impactos de la investigación colaborativa del CIAT, resalta iniciativas clave cuyos impactos todavía están por ser evaluados y describe nuevos estudios y otros esfuerzos dirigidos a fortalecer las capacidades para el análisis económico.Item Building a sustainable food future since 1967: Fifty years and 50 wins(Report, 2017-10) International Center for Tropical AgricultureWhen CIAT was created In 1967, the majority of poor and hungry people in the tropics were smallholder farmers. Increasing the productivity of their crops was, therefore, the critical entry point for CIAT’s research. Since that time, we have been concerned with nearly every aspect of tropical agriculture: the crop varieties that farmers grow, the production systems they manage, the agricultural landscapes they inhabit, the markets in which they participate, and the policies that influence their options and decisions. On the occasion of our 50th Anniversary, we are happy and proud to share a selection of “50 wins” in the fight against hunger, malnutrition and poverty, and towards a sustainable food future.Item Forjando la sostenibilidad alimentaria futura desde 1967: Cincuenta años y 50 logros(Report, 2017-10) International Center for Tropical AgricultureCuando el CIAT fue creado en 1967, la mayoría de la gente que padecía pobreza y hambre en los trópicos eran pequeños agricultores. Por lo tanto, incrementar la productividad de sus cultivos era el punto crítico de partida para la investigación del CIAT. Desde entonces, nos hemos preocupado por atender casi cada aspecto de la agricultura tropical: las variedades de los cultivos que siembran los agricultores, los sistemas de producción que manejan, los paisajes agrícolas que habitan, los mercados en los que participan y las políticas que influyen en sus opciones y decisiones. Con ocasión de nuestro 50 aniversario, nos complace y enorgullece compartir una selección de “50 logros” en la lucha contra el hambre, la malnutrición y la pobreza, con miras a la sostenibilidad alimentaria futura.Item Siempre pioneros – CIAT: 50 años contribuyendo a la sostenibilidad alimentaria futura.(Book, 2017) Lynam, John K.; Byerlee, DerekItem Forever pioneers – CIAT: 50 years contributing to a sustainable food future… and counting(Book, 2017) Lynam, John K.; Byerlee, DerekItem CIAT en Perspectiva.

We help policymakers, scientists, and farmers respond to some of the most pressing challenges of our time, including food insecurity and malnutrition, climate change, and environmental degradation. Our global research contributes to several of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and cuts across four key themes: big data, climate-smart agriculture, ecosystem action, and sustainable food systems.Item Ecosystem action: Renewing rural landscapes for improved food security and livelihoods(Brief, 2014-12) Russell, N.Item LivestockPlus: fast-tracking tropical forages for twin-win agricultural systems(Brief, 2014-11) International Center for Tropical AgricultureItem Building an Eco-Efficient Future.
