The
INTSORMIL
CRSP, or simply INTSORMIL, focuses international, collaborative research to improve nutrition and increase income in developing countries and the United States. Scientists from U.S Land Grant Universities and collaborating scientists in developing countries provide useful technology to improve production and utilization of sorghum and millet and improve natural resource management.
Their work is done in the developing countries of Africa, Central America, Eurasia and the United
States.
