About AgriPact

Welcome to AgriPact, the Corporate Engagement Initiative of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT).

For over 50 years, ICRISAT has pioneered the development of climate-resilient agri-food systems through deep scientific expertise and groundbreaking innovation. Our work has shaped effective public policies and improved the lives of over 2 billion people living in global drylands, including smallholder farmers, end producers, environmental stakeholders, consumers, and the most vulnerable, such as women and youth.

While we have come a long way, we know that more needs to be done.

Through AgriPact, we are dedicated to fostering new collaboration and driving impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) investments in the agri-food sector.

This involves building strategic partnerships with corporations, governments, NGOs, and local communities to leverage resources, knowledge, and technologies.

By uniting diverse stakeholders, we can create powerful synergies that significantly amplify our collective impact. This collaborative effort not only tackles the immediate challenges of hunger and malnutrition but also uplifts communities by enhancing a wide range of human development indicators, as food and nutrition are foundational to all aspects of well-being, driving progress in health, education, and economic stability.

We invite you to join us on our mission, as together, we can create lasting change for a brighter, more equitable world for all.
