APAARI - Through a series of electronic and face-to-face regional and global consultations, the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) in collaboration with the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) aims to reshape the global agricultural research agenda for development and reorient it to the needs of the poor through both the generation of new and relevant knowledge and the empowerment of rural communities to make use of all that is known. The consultation results will feed into the Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development (GCARD), 2010. The process is being supported by Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Asia-Pacific Association of Agricultural Research Institutions (APAARI).
