CGIAR’s AI Hub transforms decades of cutting-edge agricultural research into practical AI products, placing them directly in the hands of smallholder farmers, policymakers, and researchers.

The global landscape of agricultural risk has been changing dramatically. More frequent and intense climate and economic shocks have become the norm. Over the past 30 years, disasters have caused an estimated $3.8 trillion in crop and livestock losses, or about 5% of global GDP per year (FAO, 2023).

Agricultural advisory services are increasingly adopting generative AI (gen AI) systems, including tools based on large language models (LLMs) such as chatbots, to provide farmers with tailored information on everything from how to manage pests to changes in commodity prices.

Now formally moved into CGIAR through Scaling for Impact, the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) Clearinghouse is linking US$1.5 billion in African Development Bank-backed investment to science-backed innovations in Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

With a combined history of more than a 100 years, the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT delivers research-based solutions that harness agricultural biodiversity and sustainably transform food systems to improve people’s lives in a climate crisis.
