Crops to End Hunger
! Site under construction !
Modernizing breeding programs and CGIAR–Partners networks
Crops to End Hunger (CtEH), funded by a consortium of funders (and GIZ for the period 2023–2025), is upgrading facilities on crop breeding stations, building staff capacity to use more advanced equipment and breeding techniques, and developing foundational
tools required to improve the efficiency and speed of crop breeding cycles. This modernization effort will enable the development of new, improved varieties quicker, making them available to smallholders sooner. There are currently 14 CtEH subprojects, following a
competitive proposal process. The subprojects range in investment from $578,000 to a 16-station coordinated $15 million subproject. Each subproject is designed by the Centers and stations to meet their needs within the scope of Crops to End Hunger’s objective.
