Mission

The Green Evolution mission is to catalyze success of NARS-CGIAR breeding networks, delivering traits and genetic gain in Africa's dryland cereal crops.

We're catalyzing a revolution in effectiveness of African plant breeding programs.

National agricultural research systems (NARS) and international agricultural research institutes (in the CGIAR) have recently partnered to create NARS-CGIAR breeding networks.

Africa's plant breeders are newly focused and organized to develop the improved crop varieties demanded by Africa's farmers, processors, and consumers.

The Green Evolution team makes upstream scientific discoveries to support NARS-CGIAR breeding networks for Africa's major dryland cereal crops — sorghum and millet.
