ISAAA is an international non-profit organization that shares the benefits of plant biotechnology with various stakeholders, especially resource-poor farmers in developing countries, through knowledge-sharing initiatives and the transfer and provision of proprietary biotechnology applications.

ISAAA's global knowledge-sharing network and partnerships across the research and development continuum provide a powerful combination of scientific information and appropriate technologies for those who need to make informed decisions about their acceptance and use. In addition, a range of support services complements the comprehensive approach to agricultural development and ensures the effective implementation and rapid delivery of crop biotechnologies.

These services include capacity building for decision makers and scientists; regulatory oversight on issues such as biosecurity and food safety; impact assessment and science communication.
