MAIZE's strategy is to increase maize productivity, sustainability, and food security through three research strategies: 1) Sustainable intensification of maize-legume systems in Africa and South Asia, 2) Developing stress-resistant and nutritious maize varieties, and 3) Ensuring disadvantaged farmers have access to new technologies and markets. The program works with over 300 partners and aims to double maize productivity and improve livelihoods for millions of smallholder farmers.

OUR STRATEGY MAIZE’s strategy is to ensure that publicly-funded international agricultural research works most efficiently in maize-based systems (in Africa,Latin America and South Asia) and: stabilizes maize prices and improve livelihoods doubles maize productivity increases sustainability and resource use efficiency A sustainable strategy for food security Farmers need new varieties and technologies to adapt to changing climates,drought,flooding and new diseases and to sustainably grow more with less to improve food and nutritional security. 3 research strategies meet these key challenges. Sustainable Intensification of Maize-Based Farming Systems 1 Sustainable intensification of maize-legume based cropping systems for food security in eastern and southern Africa (SIMLESA) 40,000 farmers 40 varieties innovation platforms capacity building activities Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) 750mechanized service providers technical and business skills sustainable intensification technologies 185,000 farmers in India Supports DONORSACIAR - Australian Center for International Agricultural Research AFDB - African Development Bank Group AGRA - Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa AWF - African Wildlife Foundation BMGF - Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation CAAS - Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences CGIAR - Global Agriculture Research Partnership Cornell University GCP - Generation Challenge Programme GIZ - The German Society for International Cooperation Government of Nigeria GRiSP - Global Rice & Science Partnership ICAR - Indian Council Agricultural Research IFAD - International Fund for Agricultural Development SAGARPA - Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock,Rural Development,Fisheries and Food in Mexico SDC - The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SFSA - Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture USAID - United States Agency for International Development www.maize.org ©2014.All rights reservedThe International Maize andWheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and the International Institute forTropical Agriculture (IITA) maizecrp@cgiar.org 3 MAIZE targets Inclusive and Profitable Maize Futures This strategy delivers data and information for improved targeting of MAIZE interventions,and generates insights to enhance maize technology adoption,inclusiveness,gender equity,market access and reduce vulnerability.
