A sampling of CIMMYT impacts, 1999: new global and regional studies
CIMMYT and its partners engage in one of the world’s most ambitious humanitarian endeavors: together, we form a global wheat and maize improvement system that seeks to better the lives of millions of poor farmers and consumers in developing countries. Maize and wheat are stapled foods and important sources of income virtually everywhere in the developing world. Together, these two crops provide about one-fourth of the food calories consumed in developing countries. Because these crops are so critical to the survival of so many people, we believe it is imperative to conduct regular, rigorous studies to monitor the progress of maize and wheat research. This latest issue of A Sampling of CIMMYT Impacts provides four new global and regional perspectives on research impacts: The Global Wheat Impacts Study: Overview and Preliminary Findings. The Global Maize Impacts Study: Overview and Preliminary Findings from Latin America. Impacts in Eastern Africa: Results of Recent Studies. Sustainable Production through Reduced Tillage in Maize and Wheat Systems.
