CIMMYT and NOVO Nordisk Foundation Expand Collaboration to Drive Sustainable Agriculture

Building on the success of their initial project, CropSustaiN, CIMMYT and the Novo Nordisk Foundation are proud to announce an expanded partnership aimed at tackling agriculture’s biggest challenges. This enhanced collaboration will broaden efforts to transform farming practices, reduce environmental impacts, and support farmers worldwide.

From specific solutions to a broader vision:
The initial partnership focused on developing innovative wheat varieties through Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI), significantly reducing the need for nitrogen fertilizers. Now, this expanded collaboration sets a foundation for exploring a wider range of initiatives, including:

  • Climate-smart crop systems with reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Advanced agricultural technologies for greater resilience and sustainability.
  • Inclusive tools to empower farmers globally.
