IBP: Integrated Breeding Platform Portal

Purpose

The Integrated Breeding Platform (IBP) is a web-based, one-stop shop for information, analytical tools and related services to design and carry out integrated breeding projects. IBP is intended to boost crop productivity and resilience for smallholders in marginal environments by exploiting the economies of scale afforded by collective access to cutting-edge breeding technologies and informatics hitherto unavailable to developing-country breeders. The development of the Platform is a project bringing together numerous partners and several key funders, co-ordinated by the Generation Challenge Programme of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research.
