Breeding for Tomorrow

We aim to develop and deliver a portfolio of climate-resilient, market-preferred, and nutritious crops, livestock, and aquatic species that make food systems more productive, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable.  

By leveraging breeding modernization, market intelligence, and strengthened partnerships, we will improve seed systems,  boost agricultural productivity and resilience, reduce hunger, and enhance sustainability, particularly in the Global South. 

Our work aims to help

• Reduce chronic hunger by 29%
• Address hidden hunger by 21%
• Create an economic surplus of US$ 182 billion

Where we will work in

Central and West Asia and North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, South and Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa
