Abstract
Description
The Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA) is a non-profit international research institute jointly established in October 2011 by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (Spanish acronym, CIMMYT) and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi, to implement the vision of Norman E. Borlaug for combating hunger through applied science and improved policy. BISA enhances and promotes farm productivity, food and nutritional security, rural livelihoods, and environmental rehabilitation to invigorate the agriculture and food systems and help meet present and future demands for food in South Asia, home to more than 300 million undernourished people. The Institute harnesses the latest genetic, digital, and resource management technologies, as well as advanced research-for-development findings, and enables partners and stakeholders to leverage, adapt, and share the best international and regional science for rapid increases in the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of South Asia’s bread baskets.
