| Description |
More than three decades of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and Indian National Agricultural Research System (NARS) partnership sorghum improvement efforts through integrated genetic and natural resources management and socioeconomic research led to the development and release/marketing of several improved varieties and hybrids and crop production packages by exploiting complementary expertise. Adoption of these improved technologies directly translated into food security for millions of poor in the Indian semiarid tropics (SAT). This paper outlines how the ICRISAT-Indian NARS partnership sorghum improvement research methods together with innovative technology-sharing and dissemination methods have improved the livelihoods of millions of resource-limited farmers in the Indian SAT.
