Why Plant Breeding?
Sustainable intensification of agricultural production by better use of plant genetic diversity through effective plant breeding strategies is one of the best approaches to tackle the challenge of increasing production and ensuring sustainable use of PGRFA. Plant breeding is a well recognized science capable of widening the genetic and adaptability base of cropping systems, by combining conventional selection techniques and modern technologies. It requires long term commitment and resources at national, regional and international levels that are essential for the development of improved cultivars with increased yields, improved quality and better adaptation to the changing environmental conditions.
