CGIAR stands as a global research partnership committed to pioneering innovations for a food-secure future. Through groundbreaking technology and collaborative research, CGIAR is revolutionizing food, land, and water systems to address the climate crisis and its multifaceted impacts. The organization's core mission is to deliver cutting-edge science and innovation that drive the transformation of these critical systems. This involves a dedicated effort to reduce rural poverty, enhance food and nutrition security, improve human health, and ensure the sustainable management of natural resources. CGIAR's research is conducted by a network of research centers and alliances, working in close concert with hundreds of partners worldwide. These partners include national and regional research institutes, civil society organizations, academic institutions, development organizations, and the private sector, all united in the goal of fostering sustainable development and resilience.

The 'One CGIAR' reform represents a dynamic reformulation of its partnerships, knowledge, assets, and global presence, aiming for greater integration and impact in tackling the interdependent challenges facing the world. This unified approach enables CGIAR to deploy scientific innovations more rapidly, at a larger scale, and with greater impact where they are most needed. CGIAR's research portfolio is strategically aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on five key impact areas: Nutrition, Health, and Food Security; Poverty Reduction, Livelihoods, and Jobs; Gender Equality, Youth, and Social Inclusion; Climate Adaptation and Mitigation; and Environmental Health and Biodiversity. By embracing a systems transformation approach, leveraging ambitious partnerships, and positioning regions as central dimensions of impact, CGIAR generates scientific evidence on multiple transformation pathways. The organization also targets risk-management and resilience as critical qualities for food, land, and water systems, harnesses innovative finance models, and makes the digital revolution central to its operational strategy. With a rich history spanning over five decades, CGIAR continues to evolve, adapting its research and strategies to meet the urgent demands of a changing world and striving for a future where sustainable and resilient food systems deliver diverse, healthy, and affordable diets for all, while ensuring improved livelihoods and greater social equality within planetary boundaries.
