CGIAR modeling approaches for resource-constrained scenarios: I. Accelerating crop breeding for a changing climate

Crop improvement efforts aiming at increasing crop production (quantity, quality) and adapting to climate change have been subject of active research over the past years. But, the question remains ‘to what extent can breeding gains be achieved under a changing climate, at a pace sufficient to useful...
