Conteúdo: | The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), established in Ibadan, Nigeria, as an international institute for agricultural research and training, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1992. It became the first African link in a worldwide network of international agricultural research centres funded by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an association of more than 40 public and private donors, including government agencies, international organizations, and private foundations. IITA's mission is "to improve the nutritional status and well-being of low-income people in the humid and subhumid zones of sub-Saharan Africa by carrying out research and related activities for increasing agricultural production in a sustainable manner. in cooperation with national and international systems and instituition." IITA conducts research and training activities on a 1000-ha farm at Ibadan and at stations in sub-Sharan Africa. Its activities are linked with regional and national programs throughout Africa. To enhance the pratical relevance of its research, IITA has begun to decentralize its research into the various agroecological zones where its mandated crops-maize (Zea mays L.), cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. ssp. umguiculata], soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plantain and banana (Musa spp. L.), cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantez), and yam (Dioscorea alata L.)-are grown.
