  1. Partnering with the Private Sector for Productivity Gains Bill Niebur DuPont Vice President Crop Genetics Research & Development

  2. Strong Productivity Gains Achieved through Plant Breeding Maize

  3. Molecular Breeding World Leader in Seed Genetics21st Century Plant Breeding Germplasm Conventional Breeding + + Transgenics Biological Information Increased Rate of Genetic Gain for Desired Traits • Interesting Footnote:70% of Pioneer’s current trait pipeline involves some type of partnership

  4. Moving Beyond “Sector” Mentality CGIAR Institution Private Company Government University Application & Regulatory Framework Basic & Applied Research Global Network Basic Research • R&D investment • Global reach • Limited access to developing world • Crop knowledge • Link to local needs and talent • R&D access and investment • Strong local research program • Limited global resources • Farmer-focused program • Single country focus

  5. Capturing Strengths of Each Partner Moving Beyond “Sector” Mentality CGIAR Institution Private Company Government University Invention → Innovation → Deployment → Impact

  6. DuPont / IRRI Scientific Know How Exchange Program Local research, China DuPont Knowledge Center Hyderabad, India Los Banos, Philippines Field testing and research, Indonesia

  7. The Power of Partnerships • Public-Private Partnerships are: • Critical to global food security • Key to solving most complex agricultural issues • Effective only if well-designed and executed • Exploit complimentary skills of all parties

  8. Modern technology provides plant breeders with powerful tools to increase productivity for the world’s farmers on a truly global scale.
