Jonathan Wadsworth, Executive Secretary of the CGIAR Fund Council, explains the remit and focus of the organisation he will oversee.

In the video, Wadsworth explains the importance of agricultural research, not only to boost food production but also simply to maintain current yields in the face of adapting pests and diseases.

He also highlights how investments in agriculture have positive knock-on effects for the rest of the economy as well as being a pro-poor investment and development tool.
