Rothamsted International works with developing and transitional countries to advance technologies and expertise needed to address challenges facing agricultural production, environmental impact and related problems. It promotes and shares research excellence in crop and environmental science, and fosters international co-operation in agricultural and environmental research. Provision of appropriate training opportunities and other capacity building measures with the aim of poverty alleviation is central to its work.

There are two synergistic components to Rothamsted International. The Rothamsted International Fellowship Scheme is a small charity bringing scientists from developing countries to the UK for agricultural research training and experience. It is entirely based upon donations. Rothamsted International Consulting Ltd is a small company that facilitates the work of Rothamsted International in all of the above areas. A significant feature of Rothamsted International Consulting Limited (RICL) is that it covenants profits to the benefit of the charitable scheme.
