Bioversity International is the world’s largest organization researching agricultural biodiversity. We strongly believe that agricultural biodiversity can provide key contributions to solutions for global issues related to food security, poverty, climate change, and environmental degradation. We undertake, encourage and support research and other activities aimed at improving the well-being of present and future generations of people, by enhancing conservation and the deployment of agricultural biodiversity on farms and in forests, with special emphasis on the needs of developing countries. The organization is active in over 100 countries worldwide, and has more than 350 staff working from some 18 country offices. It is one of 15 centres supported by the Consortium of the International Agricultural Research Centres (CGIAR).
