The Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) was established in 2009 with a goal of benefiting more than 8 million farmers by the end of 2020. The project is led by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and implemented jointly with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). 

Operating in Bangladesh, India and Nepal, CSISA works to increase the adoption of various resource-conserving and climate-resilient technologies, and improve farmers’ access to market information and enterprise development. CSISA, with additional support from USAID/Nepal funded and CIMMYT led Nepal Seed and Fertilizer Project, is organizing a Regional Dialogue on “Innovations for Advancing Farmers’ Use of Balanced Nutrient Application in South Asia” on September 5, 2019, in Kathmandu, Nepal. The primary objective of the dialogue is to learn from varied experiences of different countries in the region in promoting balanced nutrient use in agriculture.
