The Dubai-based International Center for Biosaline Agriculture works towards food, nutrition and income security in marginal environments through research, innovation and partnership.

Spread over an area of around 100 ha, the Center has world-class research facilities and experimental stations, including a gene bank storing a unique collection of over 13,000 accessions of plant species with proven or potential salt tolerance from 134 countries.

Founded in 1999, the Center has grown into a global center of excellence in applied research for development, helping some of the most vulnerable populations living in marginal environments around the world.

The Center has an international team of leading scientists conducting research and innovation to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability in marginal environments.
