What is CIMMYT?  CIMMYT which is a Spanish acronym for Centro Internacianal de Mejoramiento de Maiz y Trigo in English it is the “International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center”  CIMMYT is a non profit research and training institution

History of CIMMYT, Norman Borlaug!!

More on Norman Borlaug

More Norman Borlaug  The other two main changes that Norman Borlaug made to wheat is, increasing the disease resistance through multiline varieties and by introducing dwarfing characteristics.

CIMMYT Today  Video:  Today CIMMYT is a large organization that has many areas of focus, here are some of the main areas :  Maize Research  Wheat Research  Conservation Agriculture  Germplasm and Seed  Socioeconomics  Publications  Training

Maize Research and Wheat Research

Conservation Agriculture

Germplasm and Seed

Socioeconomics

Publications  CIMMYT researchers are committed to share their knowledge with colleagues around the world through articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals, monographs, manuals, papers, and public lectures. Assuring Open Access to CIMMYT’s wealth of knowledge is critical to achieve their mission.

Training

Why is this Important?  one in nine  one in eight  the Earth only has 57 million square miles of land  there are only 12 million square miles ( 7.68 billion acres) of arable land  So there are a lot of people are not a lot of land to grow their food for them! CIMMYT is trying to feed more people sustainably.

CIMMYT using Technologies  There are lot of examples of CIMMYT using technologies from OSU!  CIMMYT has been one of the key players in vetting and testing the GreenSeeker sensors.

 CIMMYT is an organization that is dedicated to sustaining our world food supply.  It is important to take action to maintain our future food supply to prevent rampant hunger.
