The Seed Systems Development call for joint research proposals on Enabling and Scaling Genetic Improvement and Propagation Materials. The aim was to generate insights that contribute to improving seed systems (including both plant and animal seed stock) in Asia and Sub-Sahara Africa.
The Seed Systems Development programme is one of three instruments in the Netherlands (NL) - CGIAR research programme managed by NWO-WOTRO. You can find more information on the objective and the nine projects which were awarded in 2018, on the NWO-WOTRO website.
