The Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias (INIFAP) is an institution of scientific and technological excellence, recognized nationally and internationally for its ability to respond to the demands for knowledge and technological innovation. It achieves this through highly trained personnel, state-of-the-art infrastructure and tools, and a modern, autonomous administration, all for the benefit of the forestry, agricultural, and livestock subsectors, the Mexican countryside, and society at large.

Since its founding in 1985, INIFAP has prioritized the optimal use of material, human, and budgetary resources, as well as the creation of synergies among its research staff, recognizing the interactions and complementarity necessary to serve the country's producers.
