The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) was formally established in 1967 and began its research in 1969 backed by the Colombian government and Rockefeller, Ford, and Kellogg Foundations. CIAT develops technologies, methods, and knowledge that better enable farmers, mainly smallholders, to enhance eco-efficiency in agriculture. This means we make production more competitive and profitable as well as sustainable and resilient through economically and ecologically sound use of natural resources and purchased inputs.
