If you are a CONNECTED member you may well be familiar with CABI, the international NGO that applies scientific expertise to solve problems in agriculture and the environment.

They also run a global plant clinic network where farmers can find practical plant health advice. Growers visit with samples of their crops, and plant doctors diagnose the problem and make science-based recommendations on ways to manage it.
