Bioversity International is the world’s leading organisation dedicated to researching agricultural biodiversity and its use to improve people’s lives in the world’s most vulnerable communities. This matters because today, almost one billion people don’t have enough to eat. More than 6.5 million children under five die each year from malnutrition and hunger-related diseases. Millions in rural communities earn barely more than $1 a day. We are now embarking on an ambitious new programme of private sector fundraising, to ensure that we can develop and sustain activities that will help overcome poverty, malnutrition and protect threatened natural resources. This is an exciting time to join Bioversity International. You will work in a fast moving international setting and on issues that are increasingly in the spotlight. You will have the opportunity to develop your career in a growing organisation and to make a difference to our ability to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
