Strategic collaboration to scale innovation and deliver harmonized, high-quality support across CGIAR partners’ breeding networks in South Asia
The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) will serve as the South Asia hub for Breeding Resources, part of CGIAR’s Breeding for Tomorrow (B4T) Science Program, which provides shared tools and services to accelerate crop improvement and agricultural innovation.
This agreement reflects a standardized implementation model: ICRISAT will provide shared breeding and research services in South Asia according to the same high standards, operational procedures and workflows used in other Breeding Resources hubs around the world, such as the International Rice Research Institute in Asia and AfricaRice in West and Central Africa hubs. This ensures that, regardless of who provides the service, it is carried out in the same way and with the same quality and value for breeders and researchers.
