The growing demand for food makes breeders pursue more productive, stable and resistant genotypes. However, finding the best breeding strategy is not simple. It is a multidisciplinary and dynamic science, and the combination of classical and modern approaches may constitute an important approach to promote higher genetic gains. Based on this idea, our event is focused on fostering discussions with key professionals in genetics and plant breeding in order to prepare stakeholders for challenges in agriculture. The International Meeting on Plant Breeding is one of several events in the “Corteva Plant Sciences Symposia” series. Our aim is training new professionals by providing the opportunity to interact with researchers from public and private institutions through discussions of relevant scientific topics.
