FAO is a United Nations (UN) organisation with
187 member countries plus one member organisation, the European Community. Here, we provide links to a small number
of selected websites providing regularly-updated information related to agricultural biotechnology. The websites
include those from
A) Other UN information sources
B) Non-UN inter-governmental organisations
C) The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and the research centres it supports
(FAO is one of the four co-sponsors of the CGIAR).
For links to biotechnology-related websites from FAO and from various Secretariats hosted by FAO,
see News. For feedback or broken
links, contact biotech-website@fao.org.
