Excellence Through Stewardship

Pbi program:the plant breeding innovation management program (pbi mp) outlines a set of best management practices for the development, use, and introduction of products of pbi that could be developed using conventional breeding methods or have characteristics of conventionally bred plants (e.g., found in nature). The pbi mp is a full product lifecycle program inclusive of product design, development, breeding uses, and commercialization, as applicable. The key objective of the program is to enhance transparency with the value chain and other stakeholders to support market acceptance and facilitate the availability of the product benefits to growers and consumers. This is achieved through robust quality assurance and plant breeding management systems, recognition of potential market and trade considerations, and by supporting proactive engagement with the relevant value chains and other stakeholders. The gsg provides technical resources to participants of the program and trains auditors charged with auditing program participants.
