CABI’s mission is to improve people’s lives worldwide by providing information and applying expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment.
CABI Medium-Term Strategy 2023-2025
CABI works on the biggest challenges facing humanity – hunger, poverty, gender inequality, climate change and the loss of biodiversity. Our Medium-Term Strategy sets out what we plan to do in each of these areas by pursuing five major goals.
The strategy covers each of these goals in turn, setting out the problem we seek to address; our relevant expertise; what we will do; and how we will know if we have been successful, with top-level indicators for each goal to provide a framework for judging our impact. Delivering on this strategy will contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
