Sixty years of cultivating futures.
Sixty years of transforming agriculture through innovation.

SEARCA@60 is more than a milestone—it is a visionary call to action.

For 60 years, SEARCA has advanced solutions that improve livelihoods, food systems, and resilience in Southeast Asia—by turning knowledge and innovation into real-world impact for people and communities. Our journey mirrors the region’s own story: evolving from the urgent pursuit of food security to mastering modern complexities like climate resilience and the digital revolution.

Six decades of impact have taught us that true transformation is a story still being written. This year, we honor our heritage by stepping forward to drive the change our agricultural systems need by strengthening leaders and institutions to uplift lives and communities in Southeast Asia.

We invite you to explore 60 Years in 60 Pictures—a visual journey through the heart of Southeast Asian agriculture.

We believe the best way to celebrate 60 years is by bringing people together. Join us for a series of curated gatherings where we’ll dive into the future of agri-food systems as well as honor our partnerships and our own SEARCA family.

SEARCA's 60-year story is built from the people who lived it. If you are an alumnus/alumna, former staff member, partner, or collaborator, we invite you to contribute photos and stories to enrich SEARCA's historical collection and help us preserve memories accurately for future generations.
