The APSA-WorldVeg Vegetable Breeding Consortium was launched in 2017 to provide a useful platform for WorldVeg and private seed companies to work together and develop collaborations that will deliver results for farmers and consumers, and lead to a better impact. Consortium Annual Workshop is an event held exclusively for Consortium Companies. WorldVeg researchers will demonstrate new outputs of the Center’s vegetable improvement program and discuss results obtained by consortium members who test WorldVeg breeding lines at their field sites using WorldVeg experimental protocols.
