Consultative Group On International Agricultural Research

The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) was created by the World Bank on May 19, 1971, with the FAO, IFAD and UNDP as cosponsors. At the time there was widespread concern that developing countries would succumb to famine; the succesess of the Green Revolution had started in Asia and the Pearson Commission on International Development had urged that the international community undertake "intensive international effort" to support "research specializing in food supplies and tropical agriculture". CGIAR was formed for the coodination of international agricultural research with the goals of poverty reduction and achieving food security in developing countries through agricultural research. CGIAR has 58 governmental and nongovernmental members and 17 research centers called Future Harvest Centres.
