国立研究開発法人農業・食品産業技術総合研究機構となる。

国立研究開発法人農業生物資源研究所、国立研究開発法人農業環境技術研究所および独立行政法人種苗管理センターと統合して、一つの国立研究開発法人 農業・食品産業技術総合研究機構となる。

The National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS), the National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences (NIEAS), and the National Center for Seeds and Seedlings (NCCS) were integrated into the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) to pursue a common mission and role in agricultural research as a new research organization on April 1, 2016. The new NARO aims to promote the development of basic and applied research focusing on practical applications of research outputs in addressing problems of food security, agricultural productivity, and the revitalization of rural areas. The development of a research core for scientific discoveries as well as the dissemination of research outputs will be promoted in order to achieve a stable supply of safe food, strengthen industrial competitiveness, protect the environment, create new innovations, and eventually contribute to enhancing agricultural competitiveness through the continuous development and revitalization of local areas and society at large.
