Building on crop diversity to deliver better vegetable varieties and produce for farmers and consumers:

Higher yields Better resistance to pests and

diseases More stable yields under stress

(e.g. heat, drought, flooding, salinity)

Improved high-value features(e.g. color)

Better nutritional quality (e.g. vitamin A and iron)

heme: Breeding

armers obtain varieties nd lines of major egetables that produce igh yields of nutritious nd marketable food with ess health risk and nvironmental damage

heme: Breedingroduct profiles: key traits required or a successful variety targeted to a egion, agro-ecosytem, and/or market egment– Resistance to pests– Quality: shape, size, color, taste– Yield targets– Purpose (local market, processing,

export)– Other requirements– Identify standard varieties in

market

larifies breeding targets and ncourages efficient exchange of ermplasm

Key Considerations

How to get technology to the growers – reaching the end

user

Turning farmers into businessmen

– profit vs subsistence

Connecting farmers to markets – profit-conscious extension

Intellectual property, regulations, and policies

– unintended vs intended effects
