The challenge
• Demand for food will increase by 50-60% during the 21st century
• Currently, genetic gains in the developing world are around 1% each year (best estimate)
• Climate change decreases crop yields by about 5% per degree of warming = Eradicates 2-3 out of 10 years of breeding
• 45% of the global area sown to major staples is found in low- and lower-middle income countries, along with 84% of the world’s poor
• However, these countries receive just 5% of private sector breeding investment

Breeding in the CGIAR (and NARS)
![Page 5: CGIAR Platform on Excellence in Breeding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030211/58a2f9ee1a28ab5d1c8b6477/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Vision of successCrop and animal breeding programs
are making step changes in increasing genetic gains of cultivars and breeds delivered to farmers in
the developing world.
“From proof-of-concept to mainstreaming
breeder-ready tools”
Norman Borlaug: “You can’t eat potential”
The objective
![Page 6: CGIAR Platform on Excellence in Breeding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030211/58a2f9ee1a28ab5d1c8b6477/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The approach
• Drawing from innovations in the public and private sector, provide access to cutting-edge tools, services and best practices, application-oriented training and practical advice.
• Target: Public and private sector breeding programs targeting farmers in low- and middle-income countries
![Page 7: CGIAR Platform on Excellence in Breeding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030211/58a2f9ee1a28ab5d1c8b6477/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Target audience
• Contributors: All
• CGIAR• (Multi-) National private sector• NARS• ARIs
Focus: Tools and best practices that can be mainstreamed in breeding programs; “From proof-of-concept to mainstreaming breeder-ready tools”
Users: Breeding programs targeting the developing world
• CGIAR breeding program• Cultivar development programs in
NARS and the private sector• Cultivar selection programs in NARS
and the private sector
Benefits: • Greater genetic gain• Greater scale of impact• Greater efficiency and effectiveness

Module 1 – Breeding Program Excellence
• Common approaches for assessing and optimizing CGIAR & NARS breeding programs– Standard templates and approaches for measuring breeding program
performance – Common metrics to assess genetic gains in breeding programs/farmers’ fields
• Execute breeding program assessment in CGIAR programs and by NARS >> Standardize how CGIAR report/characterize their breeding programs
• Develop strategic plans and joint fundraising approaches• Advice, including from the private sector, on product definition, breeding
program design, tool implementation, product dissemination
Outcome: more focused and more effective breeding approaches; greater transparency viz investors resulting in increased breeding program funding.

• Develop a non-prescriptive web based toolbox to support trait mobilization and applied breeding.– User groups from all Modules upload successful (information about)
applications– Feedback from users is captured– Facilitation of user groups– Access to service providers and costs of services
• Document use cases and develop implementation guidelines for trait discovery and breeding. Communicate gaps/needs to modules 3, 4 and 5
• Foster toolbox adoption and its dynamic use / training• Uplift/in future: Source innovative ideas through an incubator
Outcome: Drawing on the innovations taking place in breeding and research programs worldwide, lower the transaction costs to identify, access and adopt newly emerging tools that support breeding and trait discovery.
Module 2 – Trait discovery and breeding tools and services
![Page 12: CGIAR Platform on Excellence in Breeding](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030211/58a2f9ee1a28ab5d1c8b6477/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Procurement and coordination of common genotyping/sequencing services
• In collaboration with Module 5, customization of bioinformatics tools to support breeding pipelines from sampling to data analysis
• Document use cases and develop implementation guidelines for genotyping application in discovery and breeding
• Access to advice, including from the private sector, for the effective use of genotypic/sequencing information in breeding programs.
• Advice on marker conversion from SSRs/INDELS to SNP-based platforms
• Courses and workshops
Outcome: Lower cost genotyping/sequencing; faster mainstreaming of successful practices.
Module 3 – Genotyping/sequencing tools and services

• Establish best practices for phenotyping and environmental analysis >> Toolbox
• Contracting of joint support from ARIs for – Precision and high- throughput phenotyping– GxExM analysis; Genotype-to-Phenotype models
• Procure access to better value-for-cost laboratories for physico-chemical composition and functional properties in plant and animal materials
• Needs assessment and consultancy services to improve mechanization and automation across CGIAR and NARS breeding programs; brokering of preferential prices
• Needs assessment and consultancy services to improve infrastructure and manage research stations
Outcome: Faster mainstreaming of successful practices, utilizing synergies of scale to lower costs.
Module 4 – Phenotyping tools and services

• Clarify user and technical requirements for selected breeding case studies• Develop tools to facilitate modular and adaptable breeding pipelines• Coordinate the development and implementation of a common BrAPI• Support the development of databases and tools to complement and expand
the usefulness of existing bioinformatics initiatives• Define and implement metadata and data standards to facilitate data flows
between tools and data sharing• Establish a community of practice and provide access to bioinformatics and
biometrics advice, services and resources• Advance sustainable deployment and maintenance of tools and applications
Outcome: Open-access tools and services linked to core databases that support both complex and integrated data analysis and management of breeding program data, including for routine use of genomic and high-throughput phenotypic information.
