In a post-War world, CGIAR grew out of international efforts to feed a growing global population. Fifty years later, those efforts have expanded to view human well-being as part of a much bigger picture, encompassing human, animal, and ecosystem health under pressure of a climate crisis.

For 50 years, CGIAR innovations have helped to reduce poverty and hunger worldwide. But new approaches are needed in the face of 21st century challenges. In a climate crisis, our food systems must change course.
