IRRI and ICRISAT set a joint vision to demonstrate Integrated Seed Systems for Dryland Farming in South Asia
02 May 2025, New Delhi: In a significant step toward inclusive and climate-resilient agricultural transformation, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) have outlined a joint research vision for 2025–2027, focusing on the inclusive delivery, adoption, and scaling of improved germplasms in India’s dryland ecosystems.
The planning meeting, held on April 3–4, 2025, at the ICRISAT Conference Room, NASC Complex, New Delhi, was convened under the CGIAR Breeding for Tomorrow science program, specifically within the focus area of work on Inclusive Delivery.
This partnership builds on the longstanding presence and complementary strengths of both centers in South Asia, particularly in India. By aligning efforts around targeted product bundles, seed system innovations, and market-responsive delivery models, the collaboration aims to support smallholder farmers with integrated solutions tailored for Rice-based cropping systems in water-scarce and fallow-prone geographies.
