ABOUT CSISA

Project Description
The Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) provides an overall strategy and a new umbrella for contributing new science and technologies to accelerating short-and long-term cereal production growth in South Asia’s most important grain baskets. It builds on technologies developed and lessons learned from the Rice-Wheat Consortium (RWC), the Irrigated Rice Research Consortium (IRRC) and many other investments in agricultural R&D by both public and private sectors.

Through creating and facilitating innovative public-private sector partnerships in key 'hubs', the project will boost the deployment of existing varieties, hybrids, crop management technologies and market information. CSISA will focus initially on 9 hubs in areas of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Nepal that represent key intensive cereal production systems.
 
Charitable Purpose
To decrease hunger & malnutrition and increase food & income security of resource-poor farm families in South Asia through accelerated development and inclusive deployment of new varieties, sustainable management technologies, and policies.
