ICUC
The International Centre for Underutilised Crops (ICUC) is an autonomous,
non-profit, scientific research and training centre. It was established in 1988
and is at present based at the University of Southampton in the UK. The
centre was established to address ways to increase the use of under-utilised
crops for food, nutrition, medicinal and industrial products. The
enhancement of currently under-utilised crops is a key to food security, to
the conservation of biological diversity and to the preservation and
restoration of fragile and degraded environments throughout the world.
ICRAF
The International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), established
in Nairobi in 1977, is an autonomous, non-profit research body supported by

to improve human welfare by alleviating poverty, improving food and
nutritional security, and enhancing environmental resistance in the tropics.
IPGRI
The International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) is an
international research institute with a mandate to advance the conservation
and use of genetic diversity for the well-being of present and future
generations. It is a centre of the Consultative Group on International
Agricultural Research (CGIAR).
