CIP- International Potato Center

The International Potato Center (CIP) is a research-for-development organization focused on potato, sweetpotato, and Andean roots and tubers. It operates in over 20 countries across Latin America, Asia, and Africa, delivering science-based solutions to improve nutrition, support sustainable agriculture, and strengthen climate resilience. CIP also provides open-access educational resources, including manuals, datasets, infographics, and scientific publications, to support training, research, and policy development in root and tuber agri-food systems.

EuroBlight

EuroBlight is a European research and monitoring network focused on late blight in potatoes, coordinated by Aarhus University. It provides data, tools, and collaboration opportunities to improve disease control across Europe.

European Society for Agronomy

The European Society for Agronomy (ESA) is a scientific network that promotes agronomic science and its application in European agriculture. It publishes the European Journal of Agronomy, featuring peer-reviewed research on crop physiology, soil–plant interactions, and sustainable farming systems.

NextGenBioPest Innovation Hub

The virtual NextGenBioPest Innovation Hub offers workshops on IPM practices, demonstrations of new tools, pedagogic exercises, and seminars on funding opportunities. It provides open learning resources for farmers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and citizens, with special support for women and vulnerable groups. These materials support lifelong learning on biopesticides and sustainable IPM.

Soil Health in Potato Systems – Soil Health Institute

This platform provides practical guidance for improving soil health in potato cropping systems. It explains challenges like erosion, compaction, and microbial disruption caused by common potato farming practices. It also offers regenerative strategies such as reduced tillage, cover crops, compost use, and crop diversity.

Soil Science Society of America (SSSA)

The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) is a leading scientific and professional organization dedicated to advancing soil science and its applications. It operates in collaboration with the American Society of Agronomy (ASA) and the Crop Science Society of America (CSSA) under the umbrella of the Alliance of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Science Societies (ACSESS).

The James Hutton Institute

Multidisciplinary scientific organization that addresses the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and food security. It combines natural and socio-economic sciences to develop tools, technologies, and practices that improve the resilience of crops, ecosystems, and communities.
