The Gender and Breeding Working Group of the CGIAR Gender and Agriculture Research Network recently announced a Gender, breeding and genomics workshop.
To be held in Nairobi from October 18-21, the workshop aims to identify the essential, “must have” ingredients of successful, gender- responsive breeding initiatives and to explore implications of the revolution in genomics for new opportunities and entry points in the breeding research cycle for effective integration of gender.
To complement specialized and invited talks, we are looking for presentations of a small number of Case Studies in plant or animal breeding, of successful integration of gender responsive strategies both in conventional breeding and in breeding programs making use of genomic selection.
