Improving people’s lives by applying scientific expertise around the world to solve problems in agriculture and the environment. 🌱🌍CABI is an international, inter-governmental, not-for-profit organization that improves people’s lives worldwide by providing information and applying scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment.

Core values

- CABI focuses on critical global challenges such as hunger, poverty, gender inequality, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)[2].
- CABI's projects, particularly through the Partnership Facility, have shown significant impacts in poverty alleviation, food security, and environmental sustainability. For example, a relatively small external investment of £2.9 million over five years catalyzed substantial rural development and agricultural research programs, greatly exceeding their costs in benefits[1].
- CABI's work includes developing local skills and knowledge, bringing new external ideas into national systems, and championing the needs of developing countries internationally. This has led to the empowerment of poor farmers and the development of sustainable agricultural practices[1].
- CABI's strategies emphasize long-term solutions, local ownership, and partnerships with various stakeholders. Their projects have improved the lives of smallholder farmers, researchers, and communities by providing high-quality, evidence-based information and support[2].
