About the CCRP
The McKnight Foundation Collaborative Crop Research Program seeks to contribute to a world where all have access to nutritious food that is sustainably produced by local people. We do this through collaborative agro-ecological systems research and knowledge-sharing that strengthen capacities of smallholder farmers, research institutions, and development organizations. We do this through:
- Collaborating with smallholder farmers
- Helping to create local, sustainable food production systems
- Strengthening the capacity of research institutions and development organizations
- Sharing knowledge
- Respecting local values
- Focusing on ecologically and socially sustainable approaches
- Implementing an AEI framework for change.
About this site
This site is a resource for program grantees, potential grantees,
other scientists and the general public. By creating opportunities,
the program seeks to encourage young scientists to focus on
crops important in their home countries. In turn, these scientists
can train others, building scientific expertise and infrastructure
to address their region's food priorities.
