Work

Working closely with our dedicated donors and partners, we coordinate and implement large-scale projects worldwide. We race to rescue crop diversity in danger of disappearing forever. We pursue conservation and use of the wild cousins of our food crops. And we help develop a new generation of information technologies to make the world’s crop diversity searchable and accessible wherever it is needed.
