AFBI is a DARD Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB). AFBI carries out high technology research and development, statutory, analytical, and diagnostic testing functions for DARD and other Government departments, public bodies and commercial companies.

AFBI is forging new partnerships with other scientific institutes and research organisations and extending the range of services it offers.
