<strong>Research</strong> <strong>Highlights</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>CIMMYT</strong> <strong>Wheat</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>1999</strong>-<strong>2000</strong> 41
<strong>CIMMYT</strong>® (www.cimmyt.org) is an internationally funded, nonpr<strong>of</strong>it, scientific research and training organization. Headquartered in Mexico, <strong>CIMMYT</strong> works with agricultural research institutions worldwide to improve <strong>the</strong> productivity, pr<strong>of</strong>itability, and sustainability <strong>of</strong> maize and wheat systems for poor farmers in developing countries. It is one <strong>of</strong> 16 food and environmental organizations known as <strong>the</strong> Future Harvest Centers. Located around <strong>the</strong> world, <strong>the</strong> Future Harvest Centers conduct research in partnership with farmers, scientists, and policymakers to help alleviate poverty and increase food security while protecting natural resources. The centers are supported by <strong>the</strong> Consultative Group on International Agricultural <strong>Research</strong> (CGIAR) (www.cgiar.org), whose members include nearly 60 countries, private foundations, and regional and international organizations. Financial support for <strong>CIMMYT</strong>’s research agenda also comes from many o<strong>the</strong>r sources, including foundations, development banks, and public and private agencies. Future Harvest® builds awareness and support for food and environmental research for a world with less poverty, a healthier human family, well-nourished children, and a better environment. It supports research, promotes partnerships, and sponsors projects that bring <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> research to rural communities, farmers, and families in Africa, Asia, and Latin America (www.futureharvest.org). © International Maize and <strong>Wheat</strong> Improvement Center (<strong>CIMMYT</strong>) 2001.
