GCP’s mission is using genetic diversity and advanced plant science to improve crops by adding value to breeding for drought-prone and harsh environments. This is achieved through a network of more than 200 partners drawn from CGIAR Centres, academia, regional and national research programmes, and capacity enhancement to assist developing-world researchers to access technologies and to tap into a broader and richer pool of plant genetic diversity. http://generationcp.org/research/research-themes/capacity-building/70-about-section/gcp-people 2019-06-25T00:58:45-05:00 Joomla! - Open Source Content Management 2013-02-21T17:05:24-06:00 2013-02-21T17:05:24-06:00 http://generationcp.org/research/research-themes/capacity-building/70-about-section/gcp-people/741-principal-investigators-pis-2013 Gillian Summers g.summers@cgiar.org
