The management and staff of ICRISAT are deeply saddened to hear of the news of the passing of Dr. Barbara Wells, Director General of the International Potato Center (CIP).

In a career spanning more than 30 years, Dr. Wells was a tireless advocate for improving the livelihoods and nutrition of the world’s poorest communities and advancing CIP’s mission of improving food security.  She leaves an indelible legacy and will remain an inspiration to the many that had the pleasure of knowing her both in a professional and personal capacity.

On behalf of Dr. Jacqueline Hughes, Director General ICRISAT, its leadership team and its staff from across Asia and Africa, we offer her family and the staff and management of the CIP our deepest condolences and sympathy at this time.
