The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT offers science-based solutions that harness agricultural biodiversity to sustainably transform food systems and improve people's lives. The Alliance is part of the CGIAR: a global research partnership for a food-secure future.
More than four decades responding to the needs of the country
For more than 40 years, the Alliance has worked closely with institutions and communities in Peru, building a strong partnership that has generated significant results. These efforts contribute to knowledge and understanding, as well as the promotion of agrobiodiversity, the strengthening of climate resilience in agriculture and the development of sustainable food systems. In addition, this work has supported the formulation of key public policies, such as the Law on Mechanisms for the Payment for Ecosystem Services, through the provision of specialized technical inputs.
In the 2000s, through the genetic resources policy initiative, we supported the development of the official work plans of the body that gave rise to MINAM on genetic resources policies, such as the National Register of Native Crops and agrobiodiversity protected areas, which evolved into today's Agrobiodiversity Zones.
