Global assessment of plant breeding capacity
Since 2002, FAO and its partners have been carrying out a survey to assess national plant breeding and related biotechnology capacity worldwide. The survey is currently concluded in 62 countries and is still ongoing in 30 countries through the support of FAO and the Global Partnership Initiative for Plant Breeding Capacity Building (GIPB). The Plant Breeding and related Biotechnology Capacity assessment (PBBC) database is now available on the web, providing information from the survey in an easily searchable format. See
