description: Gains in crop productivity through research advances in genetic enhancement will help to achieve  sustainable food security, poverty alleviation, and environmental protection in the semi-arid tropics.  Hence, ICRISAT has a commitment to transfer the benefits of plant biotechnology to the developing  world, as genes, both relevant to crop improvement and environmentally safe, become available.  Furthermore, the application of the tools of biotechnology offers a new means to achieve ICRISAT's  mission, i.e., applying science to improve agriculture in areas of the world where rainfall and biotic  stresses are the major constraints for increasing and stabilising crop productivity.
