"Founded in 1972, the International Crops Research Institute for the\r\nSemi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) is a non-profit, non-political organization\r\nconducting agricultural research for development in Asia and subSaharan\r\nAfrica. It’s an area of the world that is in desperate need\r\nof new farming tactics and tools, with more than 25% of its 2 billion\r\npeople living in poverty and hunger. According to Rajeev Varshney, Ph.D., \r\nResearch Program Director, Grain Legumes and Director, Center of Excellence in \r\nGenomics at ICRISAT, one of the organization’s objectives is to apply scientific\r\ninnovations to dryland agriculture. This farming method is designed for\r\nregions of scant rainfall, focusing on water-retentive tillage methods\r\nand the selection of suitable crops, rather than relying on irrigation.\r\n“The objective of ICRISAT is to develop superior varieties of crops that\r\ncan thrive in drought conditions,” Dr. Varshney said. “There’s not much\r\nvariety within the few crops that are cultivated in Asia and Africa. While\r\nbreeders have been successful in developing new, hardier crops using\r\ntraditional approaches, it wasn’t until 2005 that we really started to\r\nleverage genomics. Molecular breeding enables us to make strides in\r\ndeveloping crops that are truly sustainable in this region”..."^^ . "2013-08" . . . "Illumina"^^ . . .
