Driven by ONE CGIAR
Impact Areas
We target multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) across five One CGIAR Impact Areas. Working with others to contribute to the following targets:
A key pathway to reducing poverty for smallholders is improving crop yields. The Initiative focuses on increasing productivity and produce quality, based on improved resource–use efficiencies of inputs to potentially generate increased yields with reduced investments. Job creation is facilitated through the delivery of advisory services to smallholder communities as well as by more commercialized farms offering more and better employment, benefiting 14 million people (2.3 million households).

How We Work
We deliver Agronomy Solutions in agroecological zones through the following:
The Excellence in Agronomy Initiative aims at developing and delivering agronomy at scale solutions based on demand from scaling partners.
Such demand is then formulated and operationalized around Use Cases.
A Use Case has the following components and characteristics:
- An active scaling partner with and active scaling network, reaching tens of thousands of smallholder farming households.
- A defined zone of influence, defined in geographical, agricultural value chains, and farming systems terms.
- A well-described agronomy product, including technical content and end-user profiles.
- Participation of key service providers who will facilitate the uptake of above solution.
- Agreement on a co-creation process with the demand partner in relation to the technical content, user interface/experience.
- Development of a turnkey version of the solution generated, made accessible to other demand partners interested in this solution.

Making a Difference
Across the Global South
Our impact on agronomic gain as we serve farmers in the Global South is significant. By developing and deploying innovative agronomic practices, we are helping farmers to produce more food with fewer resources, while also improving the sustainability and resilience of their agricultural systems.
Here are some specific examples of our impact:
Yield, Yield Quality and Profitability
Climate Adaptation, Yield Stability and Reduced Risk
Resource Use Efficiency (nutrients, water, labour)
Soil Health
