The Institute of Food, Nutrition and Family Sciences (IFNFS) was formally established by the UZ as an independent institute equivalent to any faculty within the university. The Institute of Food, Nutrition and Family Sciences was established to provide Zimbabwe and the other countries in the SADC region with sufficient professional manpower able to perceive and analyze food and nutrition problems from the individual and family level up to the national level, ultimately aiming at the alleviation of these problems and thus contributing to the overall development.

IITA's mission is to enhance the food security, income, and well-being of resource-poor people in sub-Saharan Africa by conducting research and related activities to increase agricultural production, improve food systems, and sustainably manage natural resources, in partnership with national and international stakeholders.
IITA conducts research, germplasm conservation, training, and information exchange activities in partnership with regional bodies and national programs including universities, NGOs, and the private sector. The research agenda addresses crop improvement, plant health, and resource and crop management within a food systems framework, targeted at the identified needs of four major agroecological zones: the dry savanna, the moist savanna, the humid forests, and the midaltitude savanna. Research focuses on smallholder cropping and postharvest systems and on the following food crops: cassava, cowpea, maize, plantain and banana, soybean, and yam.

| To achieve its objectives, INIBAP favours the creation of partnerships and supports research carried out by its partners in both developing and industrialized countries. Many of the producing countries have limited research capacity, but participation in regional networks supported by INIBAP helps them to make the best use of available resources. INIBAP has established the world's largest Musa germplasm collection. For the benefit of the international community, INIBAP has put in place a system for the safe movement of these varieties and this material is distributed freely worldwide. INIBAP also makes available to national research programmes a documentation service specializing in bananas. |
