CGIAR launches initiatives to benefit millions in Peru

CGIAR launched seven initiatives in Peru this month in an event in the city of Lima, where approximately 90 representatives of public institutions, international and national organizations and the private sector learned about the initiatives and their potential to boost food security and incomes in some of the country’s poorest communities.

Scientists from several CGIAR centers outlined the initiatives and plans to strengthen collaboration with Peruvian research institutions, generate innovations, and facilitate investments that could eventually increase employment opportunities and the availability of nutritious food for millions of low-income families.
