Bioversity International is a global research-for-development organization. We have a vision – that agricultural biodiversity nourishes people and sustains the planet.
We deliver scientific evidence, management practices and policy options to use and safeguard agricultural and tree biodiversity to attain sustainable global food and nutrition security.
We work with partners in low-income countries in different regions where agricultural and tree biodiversity can contribute to improved nutrition, resilience, productivity and climate change adaptation.

The project "Improving Seed Systems for Smallholder Farmers' Food Security" aims to contribute to a future in which farmers successfully use crop diversity to ensure their food security and that of their communities, to thrive in challenging conditions and to make their farms resilient. The project addresses to particular issues vital to this goal: i) crop diversity available for farmers through seed systems; and ii) the policies that regulate such systems.
Integrating wild and agrobiodiversity conservation
This research shows that both wild biodiversity and agrobiodiversity provide multiple ecosystem services that support food production, underpin food security and human wellbeing. We consider that biodiversity conservation efforts in agricultural contexts should better integrate wild and agrobiodiversity approaches
