  8. Located in Cali , Colombia CIAT International Center for Tropical Agriculture Mission: To reduce hunger and poverty in the tropics through collaborative research that improves agricultural productivity and natural resource management Common Bean This is the most important food legume for more than 300 million people, most of them in Latin America, where the crop was domesticated, and in Africa. Rich in protein, iron, and other dietary necessities, the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) has come to be known as the nearly perfect food. In addition to bolstering human nutrition, it has considerable economic importance, generating income for millions of small farmers. In Africa the vast majority of bean producers are women.

  9. Cassava A hardy root crop of tropical American origin, cassava (Manihot esculenta) provides food and livelihoods for about 500 million people across the developing world. Farmers particularly appreciate its strong tolerance of drought and poor soils. Some countries are tapping the potential of cassava’s starchy roots for processing into animal feed or for industrial use. Thus, in addition to strengthening food security, the crop offers new opportunities to generate employment and income for the poor. Tropical Forages The many species of tropical forages are a prominent feature of agricultural landscapes around the world. Improved forage grasses and legumes boost meat, milk, and fish production, helping to enhance human nutrition and raise farm income. But they also have many other uses beyond their traditional role in livestock production. Nitrogen-fixing legumes, for example, enhance soil fertility, increasing the productivity of other crops.

  10. Rice Rice (Oryza sativa) is the most important food grain in most of the tropical areas of Latin America and the Caribbean, where it supplies more calories in people’s diets than wheat, maize, cassava, or potatoes. More efficient rice production is a central prerequisite for bettering the lot of the region’s urban and rural poor. Tropical Fruits An estimated 2,300 tropical fruit species show production potential. Some of them offer small farmers the opportunity to break into lucrative domestic and export markets, while at the same time improving family nutrition and land management.
