CGIAR Excellence in Breeding (EiB)
CGIAR Excellence in Breeding (EiB) is accelerating the modernization of crop breeding programs targeting the developing world. To combat hunger, poverty and climate change, Global South farmers need a genetically diverse portfolio of continually improving crop varieties. Drawing from innovations in the public and private sectors, EiB helps breeding programs meet this challenge through holistic partnerships that include expert guidance, resources, shared service platforms, and access to cutting edge technologies and practices. EiB is led by Director Michael Quinn. Communications strategy and content is overseen by Communications Lead Adam Hunt.
