Donor Support
CIAT’s research is made possible by the multi-donor CGIAR Fund as well as by grants from many organizations, some of which are also Fund donors. We are grateful to all who support our efforts to build an eco-efficient future for tropical agriculture through high-quality science that strengthens food and nutrition security, reduces poverty, and enhances natural resource management.
