CAB International began in 1913 when a service was established in
London to support agricultural scientists, in what were then
British colonies, by identifying insects and providing scientific
information and technical assistance. Subsequently, other
organisms and disciplines were covered and the services brought
together under the auspices of IAB, which was formally constituted
in 1929. They are a leading global not-for-profit organisation
specialising in sustainable solutions for agricultural and
environmental problems.
