CABI has a history of over a century of scientific endeavour. Since its beginnings as an entomological committee in 1910, CABI has developed into a truly international development-led organization, supported by both a first-class publishing division and a solid scientific research base. We’ve produced a 100 year book<\/a> to celebrate our centenary which provides a history of the organization throughout the ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1910-1930<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1910<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

CABI starts with a small grant to fight “one of the enemies of mankind”, the devastating impact of pests and diseases on man, animals and crops. The story begins with the formation of the Entomological Research Committee (Tropical Africa). One field entomologist is posted to East Africa and one to West Africa to collect and study insects injurious to humans, crops and animals. Collected specimens are sent to the British Museum, known today as the Natural History Museum, in London for identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bulletin of Entomological Research launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1913<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Formation of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, under Sir Guy Marshall (1871-1959).

Imperial Agricultural Research Conference (IARC) held in London. The IARC agreed to the formation of a number of new bureaux and that they should each produce an abstract journal on their own subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1930-1948<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1930<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
