The Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) is the Australian Government’s specialist agency dedicated to agricultural research for development. Based in Canberra, Australia, it operates to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods in the Indo-Pacific region through collaborative, internationally driven research aimed at more productive and sustainable agriculture. Serving partner countries, researchers, and regional stakeholders, ACIAR focuses on food and nutrition security and the sustainable management of natural resources by advancing climate-smart and resilient agricultural systems. The organization is part of the international trade and development landscape, and its activities are organized around partnerships that extend to universities and industry groups. In recent years, ACIAR has announced collaborative initiatives with institutions such as the University of Queensland and industry partners to strengthen climate-smart rice production in the Mekong Delta and other initiatives that address agricultural challenges in the region.
