Why a database of Agricultural Biotechnology Capacities?
The ABC Database contains information about the objectives and results of public research in agricultural biotechnology, with the aim to inform all interested stakeholders and with the aim to facilitate collaboration in public research. The database is a collaborative initiative of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Public Research and Regulation Initiative (PRRI), in concert with public research institutes and other organisations worldwide. The information in the database is provided by public researchers, who can enter information about their research directly into the database. The success of the ABC-Database depends on the quality of the data provided. We need the help of public researchers to collect, add, and update the data so that the database is as complete and up to date as possible. Public sector researchers involved in biotechnology R&D are urged to actively participate in this effort, which will benefit not only scientists but all stakeholders
