The world is overflowing with data and information but short on knowledge that enables meaningful change. There is an urgent need to provide knowledge on the tools which enable change.

What we do

We are a non-profit foundation incorporated in Singapore, set up explicitly to raise funds to support activities aimed at knowledge transfer to those who can best benefit from new science and technologies.

There is a serious gap between technology developers of agritech and foodtech, and their end-targets, the farmer and consumer, respectively. In between, many intermediaries such as policy makers, regulators, scientists, the media play different roles in the knowledge transfer. ABKCL works with a partner network of information centres, mainly in developing countries, to help narrow this knowledge gap through distinctive activities and projects.

ABKCL will work through the Agribiotechnology Foundation, which will support projects and activities in Asia and Africa which can show demonstrable changes in beneficiary groups which promote food production or support consumption of food that is sustainably produced.

The Agribiotechnology Foundation will work with partners to identify projects and conduct activities which uplift or update the understanding of applicable new technologies to solve problems in sustainable food production, protecting the environment from degrading farming practices, and consumer acceptance of novel food products.

What we aim to accomplish

Through the Agribiotech Foundation's support, we expect there will be more

We believe that currently, many workers in the developing world cannot get access to the latest scientific findings or the most current technologies to help them address the issues of food security, environmental sustainability, farmer livelihoods and novel foods. We want to work with like-minded organizations worldwide, starting in Asia, to empower these workers through partnerships which we intend to support.
