Who we are

The Market Intelligence Leadership Team serves as the representative body for the Market Intelligence Area of Work (AoW) within the Breeding for Tomorrow and Genebanks Science Program. Their primary role is to offer strategic guidance and exercise oversight over the development's progress.
