International Plant Breeding

International plant breeding is the science of developing new plant varieties to improve agriculture, food security, and environmental resilience. It involves selecting plants with desirable traits, such as disease resistance or higher yields, and crossbreeding them to produce offspring. This process can help create crops that are better suited to different climates and can thrive in varying conditions. Collaborations across countries enhance genetic diversity and accelerate breeding efforts, ultimately aiming to ensure sustainable food production and improve the livelihoods of farmers worldwide.
