The Consortium for Spatial Information (CGIAR-CSI) is an initiative of the many geospatial scientists within the Consultative Group for International Agriculture Research (CGIAR), linking the efforts of CGIAR scientists, national and international partners, and others working to apply and advance geospatial science for international sustainable agriculture development, natural resource management, biodiversity conservation, and poverty alleviation in developing countries. The CGIAR-CSI works to facilitate collaboration and capacity building for data sharing, data dissemination, and geospatial analysis amongst the fifteen CGIAR Centers and the broader global research and development communities.
