Charity Description in 500 words or less.
Our mission: To alleviate poverty and malnutrition in the developing world through the increased production and consumption of safe vegetables. AVRDC ?the World Vegetable Center is the leading international center for vegetable research and development worldwide. It is a not-for-profit research institute aimed at working towards reducing malnutrition and alleviating poverty in developing countries through improved production and consumption of safe vegetables. Founded in 1971 as the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center with a mandate to enhance vegetable production in the Asian tropics, the World Vegetable Center has taken up a global role in promoting and supporting vegetable research and development in Africa, Asia, and other regions of the world. The Center builds capacity and forms alliances with partners from both the public and private sectors which have complementary expertise. Engagement in regional and supra-regional networks for research and development helps increase outreach and impact. Over the past 30 years scientists at the World Vegetable Center have successfully bred cultivars and designed and developed technologies that help increase yields and incomes in developing countries. Millions of farmers today grow vegetable crops using seed or technologies that have been developed at the Center. Studies document clearly that vegetables are vital for healthier diets and help generate stronger economies which hears relevance especially in developing countries. Vegetable production provides a way out of poverty for smallholder farmers and the landless. It generates more income and jobs per hectare, on-farm and off-farm, than most other agricultural enterprises. Vegetable production helps diversify income strategies and thus benefits farmers and landless laborers in rural, peri-urban, and urban areas.
