The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) is a not-for-profit research and development organization dedicated to reducing poverty and hunger while protecting natural resources in developing countries. This brochure describes who we are, the work we do, and our vision of how science and technology can help poor people improve their lives, now and in the future.
The tropical world is often painted as a forbidding zone of chronic poverty, malnutrition, and environmental degradation. But these problems, though very real and pervasive, are by no means intractable. With the right kind of support, rural people across the tropics, who account for most of the world\'s poor, are capable of making the journey to sustainable rural livelihoods.
