International Institute of Agriculture

The International Institute of Agriculture (IIA) was established in 1905 in Rome, Italy, to promote agricultural development and research worldwide. It aimed to improve farming practices and boost food production to help address hunger and poverty. The IIA brought together scientists, policymakers, and farmers to share knowledge and innovate in agriculture. Although it eventually merged into other organizations, its legacy continues through ongoing efforts to support sustainable agriculture and enhance food security globally. Today, institutions that carry on its mission focus on improving agricultural techniques, advancing scientific research, and promoting equitable access to food resources.
