BSF project "Addressing the challenges of climate change for sustainable food security in Turkey, Iran and Morocco, through the creation and dissemination of an international database to promote the use of wheat genetic resources and increase genetic gains"

Harsh weather conditions exacerbated by climate change make winter wheat production difficult in the low rainfall regions in Iran, Turkey and Morocco. This is compounded by a lack of technologies for drought screening and their application in the field. This Benefit-sharing project addresses these challenges by providing capacity building, training, and technology transfer.
