The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, known by its Spanish acronym, CIMMYT is an international non-profit agricultural research and training organization that focuses on two of the most important cereals in the world: maize and wheat, as well as related cropping systems and livelihoods.

It envisions a world with healthier and more prosperous populations, free from the threat of global food crises, and with more resilient agri-food systems.
