The Foundation for Advanced Training in Plant Breeding (ATPBR) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization, whose goal is to strengthen plant breeding research-for-development (R4D) capacity in India. ATPBR aims to create a conducive ecosystem by bringing together knowledge and skill-based organizations and experts on a common platform and facilitate interventions for organizing joint capacity-building courses, joint research projects and co-incubation practices to promote technology entrepreneurs and global research leaders to support a viable seed industry.
Considering that plant breeders rarely get recognized (as their main contributions are improved varieties and hybrids, compared to high impact research papers or technologies or patents of scientists in other disciplines), Starting from 2020 onwards, ATPBR has instituted ATPBR Achievement Awards in the Seed Industry to deserving plant breeders and seed technologists who have made significant contributions to the seed industry.
