CGIAR and the Media

The CGIAR is committed to working with the print and broadcast media to make the research-for-development activities of the 15 CGIAR Centers better known, including acknowledging the generous support provided by CGIAR members. CGIAR offers journalists contact with some of the world's leading food and environmental scientists working on every critical component of the agricultural sector including agroforestry, biodiversity, food, forage and tree crops, pro-environment farming techniques, fisheries, forestry, livestock, food policies and agricultural research services.

The CGIAR alliance comprises scientists working in 15 Centers (13 of which are located in developing countries) and 64 members (countries, international and regional organizations, private foundations, national agricultural research systems, the private sector and civil society). CGIAR expenditures estimated at US$530 million in 2008, represent the single largest investment made to mobilize science for the benefit of the rural poor worldwide.
