International Center for Biosaline Agriculture (ICBA) is an international, not-for-profit applied agricultural research center with a unique focus on marginal environments.[1] It identifies, tests and introduces resource-efficient, climate-smart crops and technologies that are best suited to different regions affected by salinity, water scarcity and drought. Through its work, ICBA aims to improve food security, nutrition and livelihoods of resource-poor farming communities around the world.
Headquartered in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, ICBA implements research-for-development programs in over 30 countries.
The center is a founding member of the Association of International Research and Development Centers for Agriculture (AIRCA).[2] It is also a member of the Middle East and North Africa Network of Water Centers of Excellence[3] and the Asia-Pacific Association of Agricultural Research Institutions (APAARI).[4]
