Our portfolio of subawards tackles specific challenges that threaten regional food security. With a strategic lens, researchers spend about one year focused on a particular issue. As our research program grows, so does our awareness of newly discovered. We believe that with the right resources and collaboration, grand strides are possible in a short period of time — from boosting the nutritional value of a staple crop and building resilience to a pest to identifying new traits and improving fluidity in the value chain.
