Regional consultations on plant breeding capacity
The Global Partnership Initiative for Plant Breeding Capacity Building (GIPB), FAO and partners have previously carried out a worldwide assessment of national Plant Breeding and related Biotechnology Capacity (PBBC). To analyse the results, the GIPB is holding three electronic discussions (for Latin America and the Caribbean; South-Eastern and Southern Asia; and Western Asia and Northern Africa). For each one, a background note has been prepared summarizing the key findings from countries in the region. The main objective of these regional consultations is to discuss and recommend appropriate strategies to strengthen capacity to use plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. See
