2022 Annual Meeting

12-14 September 2022

Abuja, Nigeria

This gathering is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and impacts from the past 10 years and to look ahead as NextGen enters a new phase.

NextGen has blended advanced breeding techniques with market intelligence and community engagement to develop a new model for deploying advanced crop science to solve practical problems.

The result has been a decade of impact: a radical transformation of cassava breeding practices across sub-Saharan Africa that are now in high demand across the continent.
