The CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food will create research-based knowledge and methods for growing more food with less water, and develop a transparent framework for setting targets and monitoring progress.

The Generation Challenge Programme uses advances in molecular biology and harnesses the rich global stocks of crop genetic resources to create and provide a new generation of plants that meet farmers' needs.

HarvestPlus is an international, interdisciplinary, research program that seeks to reduce micronutrient malnutrition by harnessing the powers of agriculture and nutrition research to breed nutrient dense staple foods.
