Grupo Consultivo para la Investigación Agrícola Internacional

Centros y programas de investigación del CGIAR

El CGIAR ( Link ) es una alianza estratégica de miembros, socios y centros agrícolas internacionales que moviliza la ciencia en beneficio de los pobres. Su misión es lograr una seguridad alimentaria sostenible y reducir la pobreza en los países en vías de desarrollo mediante la investigación científica y las actividades relacionadas con la investigación en los campos de la agricultura, la silvicultura, la pesca, las políticas y el medio ambiente.

Los siguientes sitios web del Centro CGIAR ofrecen acceso a colecciones extensas de recursos de interés y beneficio potenciales para los profesionales del desarrollo en Asia.

  • Biodiversity International: BI es el nombre operativo del Instituto Internacional de Recursos Fitogenéticos (IPGRI) y la Red Internacional para el Mejoramiento del Banano y el Plátano (INIBAP). La organización está "dedicada únicamente a la conservación y el uso de la biodiversidad agrícola.” El sitio web ofrece descargas gratuitas de sus últimas publicaciones, incluida Geneflow, una revista sobre biodiversidad agrícola.
  • Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT): la misión del CIAT es reducir el hambre y la pobreza y mejorar la salud humana en los trópicos a través de investigaciones destinadas a aumentar la ecoeficiencia de la agricultura. El CIAT ofrece un amplio catálogo de publicaciones (para compra y descarga gratuita) accesible a través de.
  • Página regional de Asia del CIAT, Link, proporciona acceso a una amplia colección de descargas gratuitas que abarcan una extensa gama de temas de salud y alivio de la pobreza y el hambre con un enfoque asiático.

    Anteriormente, el CIAT ofrecía la Serie de Investigación para el Desarrollo (CARDS) del CIAT, una serie de libros destinados específicamente a brindar información de investigación a los trabajadores del desarrollo agrícola en un formato que fuera de fácil acceso para ellos. Según el CIAT, todas las versiones en idiomas de los libros (actualmente en inglés, indonesio, lao tailandés, chino, vietnamita y que pronto incluirá birmano y jemer) están disponibles en la oficina del CIAT en Vientiane. Las personas y organizaciones de países desarrollados y en vías de desarrollo pueden solicitar una copia impresa gratuita de cada uno de los libros. Los pedidos de copias múltiples se venden a US$5 por copia (que incluye gastos de envío). Las versiones descargables en inglés de la serie CARDS incluyen:

    • Developing forages with smallholder farmers how to select the best varieties to offer farmers in Southeast Asia Link
  • Instituto Internacional de Investigaciones sobre el Arroz (IRRI): IRRI, con sede en Filipinas y el Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo (CIMMYT) ofrecen el Banco de conocimientos sobre cereales (CKB),
  • Link. Anunciado como "el principal repositorio mundial de materiales de extensión y capacitación relacionados con la producción de cereales,” el CKB ofrece un servicio en línea a las personas que trabajan para mejorar el bienestar de los agricultores y consumidores de cereales de bajos recursos.
  • Centro Mundial de Agrosilvicultura: la misión del Centro Mundial de Agrosilvicultura, Link, es "generar conocimiento basado en la ciencia sobre las diversas funciones que desempeñan los árboles en los paisajes agrícolas y utilizar su investigación para promover políticas y prácticas que beneficien a los pobres y al medio ambiente.” Con sede en Nairobi, el Centro Mundial de Agrosilvicultura también tiene cinco oficinas regionales ubicadas en África y Asia. La página web del WAC para el sudeste asiático ofrece una colección de publicaciones relevantes a nivel regional ( Link ), incluyendo Kiprah Agroforestri ( Link ), una publicación periódica sobre agrosilvicultura en idioma indonesio.
