Commitment description

As the world’s largest public sector research partnership, CGIAR has worked tirelessly with its extensive network of partners for 50 years to serve the needs of more than 500 million smallholder farmers who are responsible for feeding billions of people in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Now, building on this extensive record of research and innovation, CGIAR commits to contributing to collective global targets for nutrition, health, and food security:

1. Ending hunger for all and enable affordable healthy diets for the 3 billion people who do not currently have access to safe and nutritious food.

2. Reducing cases of foodborne illness (600 million annually) and zoonotic disease (1 billion annually) by one third.

To meet these goals, CGIAR announces the launch of a new portfolio of 32 research initiatives, supported by financial commitments of more than US$1 billion from a steadily growing global coalition.
