With over five decades of commitment to agricultural advancement, SEARCA has become a key driver of inclusive, sustainable development in Southeast Asia.

We believe that evidence is the foundation of effective policy. Our platform brings together timely data, strategic foresight, and research outputs that inform real-world solutions empowering users to design more resilient, future-ready agri-food systems amidst climate change, urbanization, and shifting demographics.
Transformation happens through shared purpose. That’s why the Knowledge Platform is not just a repository—it’s a living network. We connect governments, academic institutions, private sector actors, and civil society to co-create strategies, exchange learnings, and scale good practices across the region.
Connecting key players to drive change, share knowledge, and shape a stronger food system in Southeast Asia.
Our mission is to advance sustainable, inclusive, and resilient agri-food systems across Southeast Asia by bridging research, policy, and practice. Through open data, collaborative platforms, and strategic advisory, we empower stakeholders to make informed decisions that shape the region’s agricultural future.
