17th CABI Review Conference 

Celebrating 100 years of sharing knowledge supporting agriculture

To coincide with CABI's 100 year anniversary, CABI held its 17th Review Conference at the Kingsway Hall Hotel, London in February 2011. The event brought together environment and agriculture ministers from around the world and representatives from international development and major funding organizations. It provided an opportunity for members to review the progress of CABI’s development and publishing initiatives, develop partnerships, and discuss ways in which CABI could work with member countries to address issues of concern in each region.
