Eco-Efficient Agriculture for the Poor
CIAT Mission
CIAT mission is to reduce hunger, poverty and improve human health in the tropics through research aimed at increasing the eco-efficiency of agriculture:
1. Boost agricultural productivity to provide the poor with inexpensive and nutritious food
2. Make agriculture more competitive offering the poor new opportunities to increase incomes
3. Achieve agricultural growth that is sustainable and less harmful to environment.

Eco-Efficient Agriculture for the Poor
CIAT in Africa: Four strategic objectives
•Strengthen bean research in Africa through the Pan
Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA) partnerships
•Expand Tropical Forage Research in East and Central
Africa
• Implement a global Soils Research agenda.
•Expand research on climate change and linking
farmers to markets in SSA

Eco-Efficient Agriculture for the Poor
Research Emphasis • Beans
o Improving productivity
o Addressing malnutrition through more nutritious beans
o Linking farmers to markets
o Exploiting private public partnerships (seed production and value addition)
• Soils o Maintaining soil quality and
ecosystem services during sustainable intensification
o Sustaining soil fertility in important farming systems
• Tropical Forages: (Raising the
profile of forages)
o Forage-based dairy and beef
cattle value chains
o Adapted forage grasses and
potential value for supporting
environmental services
o Overcoming constraints of forage
seed production
o Efficient and reliable seed
systems
• Climate change:
o Supporting National Adaptation
and Mitigation Planning for
Agricultural Sectors in Africa
• Linking farmers to markets

Eco-Efficient Agriculture for the Poor
CIAT –Africa Approach
• Alignment with continental agricultural agenda e.g. CAADP especially country compacts (CCs)
• Engagement and development of partnership with national and sub-regional organizations (e.g.ASERECA)
• From pilot sites to continental scaling-up through alliances e.g. Pan Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA)

Eco-Efficient Agriculture for the Poor
CIAT engagement in the Feed the Future initiative
1. Africa Rising (IITA-ILRI led )
• Increasing the productivity of preferred bean varieties
– e.g. introduction of early maturing and high/mid altitude climbing varieties in Tanzania
• Cereal value chain support (Ethiopia)
• Soil characterization and information (Tz and Ethiopia)
2. Implementing country mission priorities e.g. beans in Mozambique and Uganda

Eco-Efficient Agriculture for the Poor
Collaboration CIAT-CRSP
Existing : CIAT- CRSP /Dry Grain Pulses (excellent)
• Bean Breeding for abiotic/biotic constraints (joint
projects) in Rwanda, Uganda ,Mozambique
• Outreach strategies particularly effective seed
systems (East Africa region)
Potential
• Basic research in various CIAT research
areas
• Human capacity building in various agricultural
fields
