We began as the AVRDC in 1973, with a focus on Asian countries, for contributing to eliminate malnutrition, hunger and poverty and Korea is one of the founding member countries.Overtime, our geographical focus has shifted with a new name, WorldVeg. WorldVeg’s research outputs are global goods and freely available for others to use. WorldVeg Korea Office (WKO) located in NIHHS, RDA has been launched in 2019.
