ICIMOD, which is based in Kathmandu, Nepal, is an knowledge and learning centre for the eight regional Member countries of the Hindu Kush Himalayas: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Pakistan. The organisation aims to develop an economically- and environmentally sound mountain ecosystem to improve the living standards of mountain populations and downstream communities. ICIMOD has a number of projects that focus on agriculture, namely on medicinal and aromatic plants, forests and forest products, agroforestry and honeybees. ICIMOD has previously done research around organic agriculture. ICIMOD  moreover oversees the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Programme in Asia (MAPPA). MAPPA formulates programmes that build and support research and development activities to conserve biodiversity through sustainable use, expand livelihood opportunities, provide effective and safe traditional medicine and network to facilitate communication and collaboration. 

ICROFS is a collaboration between research groups in different institutions and universities and coordinated through a head office in Denmark. The secretariat of ICROFS initiates, coordinates, and participates in international research activities. The aim of their work is to strengthen the positions of organic farming and food systems and to increase the conversion possibilities from conventional farming production. ICROFS plays a central role in a large number of research endeavours, including the DARCOF III, CORE Organic, CERTCOST and GlobalOrg projects. ICROFS also manages Organic Eprints, an open, online archive for research in organic agriculture with more that 8,000 publications. 

ICCOA is a knowledge and learning centre for all aspects of organic agriculture and agribusiness. The Centre, which is located in India, works in partnership with FiBL. Its mission is to help build the competence of individuals and organizations of the South Asian region contributing to the creation of ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable agriculture and organic business.  The Centre is divided into five programs concerning different aspects of organic agriculture: Policy and Advocacy; Research and Technology; Capacity Building; Standards and Quality Management; and Market Development.

ICRISAT is a CGIAR research center focused on the dry regions of sub-Saharan Africa and Asia conducting research on sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea, pigeon pea, and groundnut. It aims to improve the well-being of the poor in the region through scientific agricultural research. Specifically, ICRISAT undertakes research in making major food crops more productive, diversifying options in staple food crops, reducing risk from the natural resource base, diversifying income generation, and strengthening support systems for rural farm communities. 

IFOAM is the worldwide umbrella organization for the organic movement, uniting more than 750 member organizations in 108 countries. IFOAM actively participates in international agricultural and environmental negotiations with the United Nations and multilateral institutions to further the interests of the organic agricultural movement worldwide. 

IFOAM provides a market guarantee for integrity of organic claims. The Organic Guarantee System (OGS) unites the organic world through a common system of standards, verification and market identity. Through IFOAM programs, conferences and events, IFOAM is laying the groundwork for the further development of organic agriculture and its markets worldwide. IFOAM facilitates trade in organic products and convenes World Congresses, International Trade conferences, commodity specific (coffee, seeds,  wild products, etc.) and other events.

IITA is a CGIAR centre that focuses on the tropical areas of Africa. The Institute’s mission is to enhance food security and improve livelihoods in Africa. It has the following research programmes: Agriculture and Health; Agro-biodiversity; Banana and Plantain Systems; Cereals and Legume Systems; Horticulture and Tree Systems; Root and Tubers Systems; Threats to Food Security; Integrated Pest Management. In addition, IITA is the coordinating centre for the Ecoregional Programme for the Humid and Subhumid Tropics of Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, the Institute has a project in which the market potential of organic vegetables in West Africa is being assessed and organic pest management techniques are being disseminated through the Farmer Field School Approach.

ILRI is a CGIAR research center based in Kenya and Ethiopia. The Institute’s aim is to improve the well-being of people in developing countries by enhancing the contribution livestock makes to smallholder farming. The Institute’s primary research focuses on smallholder crop-livestock systems in arid, humid, and highland areas and the transition from subsistence to a market economy. ILRI studies methods of increasing production by precision manuring, patchy grazing, forage-legume rotations and grazing animals on particular crop residues.
