The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) is a non-profit international organization that shares the benefits of agricultural biotechnology, with a special focus on resource-poor farmers in developing countries. ISAAA facilitates the transfer and delivery of proprietary biotechnology products by involving partner organisations from public and private sectors in the research and development continuum. Aside from technology transfer, ISAAA is also involved in science-based knowledge sharing and capacity building, and produces annual report on the use of biotech crops. ==International presence== ISAAA operates three regional centers. ISAAA ''SEAsia''Center is hosted by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. This center also serves as the Global Coordination Office as well as the home of Global Knowledge Center on Crop Biotechnology (KC).〔http://www.1site-europe.net/onesite_inasp/people/orgdetail.asp?orgid=14690〕 KC shares authoritative knowledge on every aspect of crop biotech to build capacity in national programmes to facilitate informed decision making about GM crops and their contribution to food security and environmental safety.〔http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jsfa.893/pdf Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture〕 KC releases a weekly e-newsletter, the Crop Biotech Update (CBU), which features latest news about agricultural biotechnology. ISAAA ''Afri''Center is hosted by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) located in Nairobi, Kenya and implements programs involving communication and policy advocacy, capacity enhancement, regional initiatives, and international networking.〔http://www.ofabafrica.org/meeting_speaker_profiles/Profile-Karembu.pdf〕 ISAAA ''Ameri''Center is located in Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.
