Pre-Breeding Collaboration in the Nordic-Baltic Region

A Nordic Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for Pre-breeding is in place since 2011. Its establishment and scope is presented. Also Baltic plant breeding can participate in the PPP. At a workshop in connection to the 75th anniversary of State Stende Cereal Breeding Institute the first steps were taken in the development of a Concept note for the continued development of the PPP for pre-breeding collaboration in the Nordic-Baltic region. The need for strong prioritisation among efforts to be presented was emphasised in the workshop
