CIP - International Potato Center (India)

CIP works with countries in areas where high concentrations of farmers are extremely vulnerable to water shortages, soil degradation, or both. Through partnerships with national governments, the private sector and civil society, CIP seeks to improve the livelihoods and food security of some of Asia’s poorest farmers, while paying­­­ particular attention to the needs of women. As women are increasingly the custodians of agricultural land and provide most of the manual labour, this is achieved through a gender-responsive delivery of innovative systems and technologies to improve agricultural production, reduce malnutrition and poverty, address the challenges of climate change and promote disaster risk reduction measures.
