Over 45 years, ICRISAT has worked closely with national partners along value chains of its nutritious and climate-smart mandate crops – sorghum, pearl and finger millet, chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut – to ensure our science improves the lives of farmers and nutrition for all consumers. Special appreciation to our partners and funders and to the many farmers who contributed to the design, development and delivery of demand-driven innovation for the drylands during 2017.
