IRRI is known for its work in developing rice varieties that contributed to the Green Revolution in the 1960s which preempted the famine in Asia.〔http://www.economist.com/news/briefing/21601815-another-green-revolution-stirring-worlds-paddy-fields-bigger-rice-bowl〕 The Institute, established in 1960 aims to reduce poverty and hunger, improve the health of rice farmers and consumers, and ensure environmental sustainability of rice farming. It advances its mission through collaborative research, partnerships, and the strengthening of the national agricultural research and extension systems of the countries IRRI works in.〔http://irri.org/about-us/our-mission〕 IRRI is one of 15 agricultural research centers in the world that form the Consortium Group of International Agriculture Research Centers (CGIAR), a global partnership of organizations engaged in research on food security.
