1990 Supplement Publications of the International ... - IRRI books

Centro lnternacional de Agricuttura Tropical (CIAT) in Colombia.
ClAT is also working on genetic improvements that can double and
triple yields of cassava, an important food for some 400 million
people in the tropics. In Lima, Peru, the Centro lnternacional de la
Papa (CIP) is concentrating on increasing production of the world's
fourth most important crop. CIP houses the largest collection of
potatogermplasm in the world. Improved lines of ediblelegumes and
innovative soil and crop management systems for Asia and Africa are
being developed by the International Crops Research Institute for the
Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) based in India.
To further the work of the centers, the CGlAR is seeking a more extensive
exchange of knowledge on agricultural research and production
among scientists, development workers and educators. A major
aspect of this work includes the production of several different types
of publications and periodicals.
