IGFRI is a federal institute under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The Institute’s mandate is to conduct research, development, and training in forage production and its utilization. The Avikanagar Regional Research Station that is part of the Institute focuses on the specific needs of the arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The Research Station’s mandate is to conduct applied and basic research on range species, fodder trees, and cultivated fodder species and also on seed production for range grasses, legumes, and fodder trees.

IISR is a constituent body of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The Institute works on the collection, conservation, evaluation and cataloguing of species; conducts research on crop improvement, protection and production; and studies the socio-economic aspects of cultivation, marketing and information dissemination on spices. In the past, IISR has engaged in projects focused on organic production, including work on vermicompost as a fertilizer for organic spice crops.

IBRC is located in the state of Punjab and partners with the Society of Pesticide Sciences. The Center works to promote all fields of biopesticide sciences, including environmental aspects, through interaction between researchers from the diverse disciplines of entomology, toxicology, agriculture, biotechnology, biochemistry, chemistry and biological sciences. 

MARDI aims to create, innovate, transfer, and apply knowledge, competencies and services to support the national food and agriculture industries of Malaysia. After releasing related papers on the topic, MARDI produced a book on organic vegetable production in Malaysia in 2005.  However, their website does not indicate current organic vegetable research. MARDI’s website is only partially available in English. 

ITAB aims to produce tools and other technical references that can be used to build innovative and sustainable systems for organic farming. The Institute also plays a facilitation role by bringing together national and international actors in research, training and development.  In the past ITAB has conducted research on the control of production of wheat farming and milling processes to yield a flour product with high nutritional density. The website is only available in French. 

Premier institut de recherche agronomique en Europe, deuxième dans le monde, l'Inra mène des recherches finalisées pour une alimentation saine et de qualité, pour une agriculture compétitive et durable, et pour un environnement préservé et valorisé. S’appuyant sur des approches systémiques, l’Inra a pour ambition de développer une «agro-écologie» performante valorisant mieux les processus écologiques et leurs acteurs biologiques. Ces recherches, menées en partenariat avec le monde agricole, intègrent des connaissances biologiques, agronomiques, zootechniques, écologiques, économiques et sociales.

IBDF was founded to research solutions for biodynamic farmers and consultants. Currently, it focuses on conducting research in organic agriculture. The Institute’s main research groups focus on long-term trials and fertilization; organic plant breeding, crop diversity, seed health and organic plant protection; and the optimization of biodynamic preparations. The long-term trials group is focused on soil organic matter and crop yields and yield components with and without biodynamic preparations.

IFEU, an environmental research institution, focuses its agricultural research largely on agro-energy and energy flows within agricultural systems. Ongoing studies at the Institute compare liquid biofuels with conventional liquid fuels and soil biofuels with conventional fuels. Alternative energy research also examines different production sites, methods (conventional and organic farming), and applications. In addition, IFEU conducts life cycle assessments in different categories, such as food production, bio energy, renewable primary products, cultivation methods and soil profiles.

EURAC is a private institution for research and scientific training located in Italy. The Institute for Alpine Environment conducts applied research regarding the interface between civilization and environment. Research topical areas are land use in mountain areas, sustainability indicators, and monitoring and protected areas. Several projects explore aspects of alpine agriculture, including studies on the influence of mountain agriculture on water quality, the effectiveness of various instruments on shaping agriculture in the Alps to be more ecologically sound, and an exploration of measures and strategies for sustainable mountain agriculture.

ISD’s main purpose is to engage in sustainable development by empowering local communities in Ethiopia and helping them build on current sustainable development practices. The Institute’s focus with agriculture involves working with local farming communities and agricultural experts to improve local productivity and environmental health using ecologically sound practices; working with various groups to raise indigenous trees, make compost, and develop organic vegetable gardens; and supporting the training of experts in the production of organic fertilizer and purification of water to use for growing crops.
