Breeding Resources

Enterprise Breeding System (EBS)

The Enterprise Breeding System (EBS) is an open-source breeding informatics software being developed for crop breeding programs serving resource-poor farmers in Africa, Asia and Latin America. EBS connects, merges and builds upon existing breeding software and data solutions to offer a single powerful tool, so that breeders can focus on using data to create better varieties, faster.

EBS has been chosen as the preferred data management system of CGIAR.

What about Centers and partners using other solutions?

As many partners will continue to use other systems in the next years, they will continue to be supported by BRS Digital Solutions team during a transition period. CGIAR hopes all breeding programs will adopt EBS within the next few years, after the transition phase where other breeding data management systems will co-exist with EBS. The data management platform is available to CGIAR Centers and partners, with a dedicated Global User Support serving customers worldwide 24/7.
