Vision
The longer-term vision of success of the GIPB is the improvement in crop performance and food security based on the establishment of enhanced sustainable national plant breeding capacity.

Improved cultivars will be produced and adopted in larger numbers and they will be better adapted to climate change and to protection of the environment through reduced use of pesticides and more efficient use of inorganic and organic fertilizer, water and energy.

Improved stress tolerant cultivars will contribute to reduced consumer price, enhanced human health, and increased income and employment.

In its broadest context, the GIPB is intended to impact the very essence of what constitutes the foundations of global food security.

Objectives
A GIPB stakeholder consultation process has defined the following five longer-term specific objectives, aiming at the integrated enhancement of national plant breeding capacity building strategies:

Support for policy development on plant breeding and associated scientific capacity building strategy, to help allocate resources to strengthen and sustain developing countries' capacity to use plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.

Provision of education and training in plant breeding and related scientific capacities relevant to utilization of plant genetic resources.

Facilitate access to technologies in the form of tools, methodologies, know how and facilities for finding genetic solutions to crop constraints.

Facilitate exchange, from public and private breeding programmes, of plant genetic resources that can enhance the genetic and adaptability base of improved cultivars in developing countries.
