CGIAR Breeding for Tomorrow 189d ago

Crops to End Hunger (CtEH), funded by a consortium of donors since 2019 and by GIZ from 2023 to 2025, is a program that invested in upgrading breeding facilities, strengthening staff capacity to use advanced tools and techniques, and developing foundational resources that speed up the development of improved varieties globally. These varieties aim to meet the food, nutrition, and income needs of producers and consumers, respond to market demand, and boost resilience to pests, diseases, and climate change. CtEH’s support spans 20 crops, including cereals, legumes, and root crops. Investments benefit both CGIAR and national research institutes’ breeding programs across Africa, South America and Asia, creating regional spillover effects that strengthen breeding capacity and impact well beyond individual countries.
