Today marks ’s 59th anniversary, an opportunity to reflect on our remarkable journey and nearly six decades of meaningful work in Southeast Asia. We celebrate our achievements with deep gratitude for our dedicated scholars, alumni, fellows, global partners, Governing Board Members, and, above all, our officials and staff who have shaped SEARCA’s legacy.

As we reminisce about the past, we also set our sights on the future, gearing up for our 60th anniversary—a new milestone inspiring us to reach even greater heights together.

Our 12th Five-Year Plan: Sustainable Transformation of Agricultural Systems through Innovation in Southeast Asia (SUSTAIN Southeast Asia) reaffirms our commitment to agricultural transformation. This plan focuses on making policies, institutions, practices, and people more climate-resilient, inclusive, and future-ready. Our dedication to innovation extends beyond technology, reaching into governance, education, partnerships, and business models. We champion inclusive, human-centered innovation, ensuring that no one—especially youth and women farmers—is left behind, but instead empowered as co-creators of solutions.

With pride in our progress and confidence in the future, we remain guided by purpose, strengthened by collaboration, and committed to leading the transformation toward sustainable agricultural development.
