Submit a Case Study of Gender in Crop Breeding
A case study is a crop breeding initiative that uses information about gender to answer the question: “Are there gender differences among our end-users – that is, social differences among the men and women who grow, process, sell or consume our varieties -- that might affect our breeding objectives and impact?”

We are interested in learning about any process that has addressed this question. The Case is of interest whether or not the breeding initiative described, concludes that gender differences matter for breeding.

Your Case can be an ongoing breeding initiative or one that is no longer active.

Tell us your story by answering these questions about your experience with using information about gender to inform plant breeding.

Submit your case with the questionnaire by September 30th. All submissions will be considered for one of 10 grants of up to US$10,000 to support writing up the Case Study that will be a journal length paper authored by the implementing team.
