Forjando la sostenibilidad alimentaria futura desde 1967: Cincuenta años y 50 logros
Cuando el CIAT fue creado en 1967, la mayoría de la gente que padecía pobreza y hambre en los trópicos eran pequeños agricultores. Por lo tanto, incrementar la productividad de sus cultivos era el punto crítico de partida para la investigación del CIAT. Desde entonces, nos hemos preocupado por atender casi cada aspecto de la agricultura tropical: l...
Building a sustainable food future since 1967: Fifty years and 50 wins
