The International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) has joined the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, reinforcing its commitment to harnessing biotechnology, scientific innovation and international cooperation to help countries tackle two of the world’s most pressing challenges.
By joining the Alliance, ICGEB will contribute its global scientific expertise, technical assistance, capacity building and technology transfer to support countries in developing sustainable, science-based solutions that improve food security, strengthen climate resilience and reduce poverty.
Dr. Lawrence Banks, ICGEB Director-General, comments: “Ending hunger and poverty requires more than increased food production; it requires innovation, scientific capacity and strong partnerships that enable countries to build resilient and sustainable food systems. Through the Global Alliance, ICGEB will work alongside governments and international partners to ensure biotechnology delivers tangible benefits for the communities that need them most.”
