Research Themes

Management of natural resources in marginal environments
increase agricultural productivity and thus improve food, nutrition and water security, and create jobs and livelihoods for communities living in these environments
Climate change modeling and adaptation
enhance livelihoods, adaptive capacities and incomes of agricultural communities most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change
Crop improvement and sustainable production
increase adaptive capacities, livelihoods and food security of smallholder farmers and rural communities
Integrated agri-aquaculture systems
help reduce environmental footprint, increase incomes of farming communities and improve their adaptive capacities to climate change

Our Work

We identify, test and introduce resource‐efficient, climate‐smart crops and technologies that are best suited to different regions affected by salinity, water scarcity and drought.

Through our work, we help to improve food security and nutrition and create jobs and livelihoods for some of the poorest rural communities around the world.

We support decision-makers in designing policies and strategies to improve natural resource management, mitigate and adapt to climate change effects and other challenges, and enhance agricultural production in marginal environments.
