US registered, Not-for-Profit Charity, co-sponsored by public and private sector organizations

Mission of ISAAA:

• Share knowledge on crop biotechnology so that the

global community is more well informed about the attributes and potential of the new technologies

• Contribute to poverty alleviation by increasing crop

productivity and income generation, particularly for resource-poor farmers, and to bring about a safer environment and more sustainable agricultural development, through crop biotechnology.
