Global alliance for improving food security and the livelihoods of the resource-poor in the developing world
Accounting for a fifth of humanity's food, wheat is the primary source of protein in the developing world and second only to rice as a source of calories. Demand for wheat in the developing world is projected to increase 60% by 2050 while, at the same time, climate-change-induced temperature increases are likely to reduce wheat production in developing countries by 20-30%. These challenges form the collective focus of worldwide wheat research, a collaboration of more than 200 public and private organizations united to reduce hunger in the developing world.
WHEAT is looking for R4D partners to fill specific research gaps in the WHEAT Strategic Initiatives/Themes – please have a look at the RFP Partner Proposal List.
