The Alliance Scientists

The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT delivers research-based solutions that harness agricultural biodiversity and sustainably transform food systems to improve people’s lives. To do so, the Alliance and its scientist community works with local, national and multinational partners across Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and Africa, and with the public and private sectors.

We encourage you to engage with our community of scientists and researchers here and on other professional platforms, and also know more about our scientist emeriti, who contributed to our history.
