The Rice Breeding Innovations Platform at IRRI has been pioneering the Global One Rice Breeding Strategy Framework through OneIRRI Network. The network is being widely adopted through the CGIAR Excellence in Breeding Platform that aims to accelerate the modernized crop breeding programs that serve farmers in low- and middle-income countries.
In 2022, the IRRI Rice Breeding Innovations Platform (RBI) launched a Global Crop Tour to strengthen and unify stakeholder participation and appreciate their work. The initiative also looks at possible rooms for improvements such as the modernization of product selection and testing and the creation of a more integrated feedback loop.
Starting with South Asia, Global Breeding Lead Dr. Hans Bhardwaj, Deputy Lead Dr. Sankalp Bhosale, and scientists from IRRI’s various rice breeding pipelines and seed system initiatives have been on the ground through this tour.
