Breeding program improvement plan

Strategic planning is key to successful breeding program modernization, ensuring that investments are clearly tied to sustainable impacts.

This improvement plan template has been developed by EiB to support and standardize the process of planning and communicating improvements to breeding programs. 

Covering all aspects of the breeding pipeline from strategy, through population development, product development and finally deployment, an improvement plan should be derived from customer needs in the breeding pipelines covered by the program, outline a high-level strategic vision for making better use of resources to meet those goals, and identify specific actions to get there with roles, responsibilities, costs and returns on investment.
