Organised by the Science Council of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), in partnership with the Alliance of the CGIAR Centres and the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR), and hosted by the Wageningen University and Research Centre, the Forum will focus on innovative science and the arrangements that can help to mobilize it more effectively to address poverty alleviation and sustainable natural resource management. One of the themes is "Beyond the yield curve: exerting the power of genetics, genomics and synthetic biology". The Secretariats of the Science Council and GFAR, as well as the Alliance Office, are all based at FAO Headquarters, Rome.
