The CGIAR Generation Challenge Programme at 6—From discovery to application and impact in crop improvement

Abstract

The work of the Generation Challenge Program is described, 6 years after the program was launched. GCP links basic science with applied research, helping to weave an effective and interactive community of crop researchers at both global and regional levels. By both capacity-building and assisting developing world researchers to tap into a broader and richer pool of plant genetic diversity, GCP strives to ensure that crops improved by cutting-edge science will reach farmers in the developing world.
