The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics or ICRISAT is a non-profit and non-political research organization helping the poor in the semi-arid areas of the developing world.

[edit] Vision

ICRISAT's vision to 2010 is the continued improvement of the well-being of the poor of the semi-arid tropics (SAT) through agricultural research for impact. With this impact we have the determination to substantially contribute to the attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals, specifically, those tackling poverty, hunger, gender and health issues.

[edit] Goals

Increased international public goods, food security, livelihood resilience, poverty reduction and an improved environment in the production systems of the semi-arid tropics have been achieved with ICRISAT partnership research practicing “Science with a Human Face” and making a significant and attributable contribution to development.
