Abstract

The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) was established in 1960 by the Rockefeller (New York, NY, USA) and Ford Foundations (New York, NY, USA) in response to food scarcity problems in the developing world. Today, it is the world's leading international research and training center for rice. Based in the Philippines, with operations in 11 other countries, it is one of 16 Future Harvest Centers funded by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an association of public and private donor agencies.
