Impact Goals

IRRI is dedicated to making a significant impact through three interconnected goals: improving nutrition, supporting a sustainable planet, and ensuring inclusive livelihoods. In close collaboration with governments and stakeholders, we aim to provide demand-driven integrated solutions tailored to national priorities. By leveraging our core strengths in genetics, systems science, and delivery, IRRI will focus on "sum-of-the-parts" innovations, where integrated science creates real-world impacts at the intersection of climate, food, and nature. Our new strategy enhances the global research-for-development ecosystem, creating a seamless pipeline from discovery to delivery within rice-based agri-food systems. 

Improved Nutrition

Ensure high-quality, nutritious rice is available, accessible, and affordable for all.

Sustainable Planet

Ensure rice-based systems are climate-resilient, nature-positive, and circular, reducing the overall environmental footprint of production.

Inclusive Livelihoods

Ensure rice-based systems deliver improved livelihoods for smallholders and value chain actors and promote the well-being and prosperity of the local communities that depend on them.
