The Power of Partnerships
Public-Private Partnerships are:
1. Critical to global food security
2. Key to solving most complex agricultural issues
3. Effective only if well-designed and executed
4. Exploit complimentary skills of all parties
Modern technology provides plant breeders with powerful tools to increase productivity for the world’s farmers on a
truly global scale.
