Future harvest
IFPRI is one of the 16 food and environmental research organizations known as the Future Harvest centers. The centers are located around the world, conduct research in partnership with farmers, scientists, and policymakers to help alleviate poverty and increase food security while protecting the natural resource base.
They are principally funded through the 58 countries, private foundations, and regional and international organizations that make up the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).
In 1998 the centers supported by the CGIAR created Future Harvest as a charitable and educational organization designed to advance the debate on "how to feed the world’s growing population without destroying the environment and to catalyze action for a world with less poverty, a healthier human family, well-nourished children, and a better environment". Future Harvest reaches out to media, academics, scholars, and scientists in the world’s premier peace, environment, health, population, and development research organizations, as well as policymakers and civil society, and it enlists world-renowned leaders to speak on its behalf.
Future Harvest supports research, promotes partnerships, and sponsors on-the-ground projects that bring the results of research efforts to farmers’ fields in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
