CIP Potato and Sweet Potato Breeding Joins EBS: A Milestone in CGIAR’s Digital Transformation

The International Potato Center (CIP) is taking a major step in CGIAR’s digital transformation by integrating its potato and sweet potato breeding data into the Enterprise Breeding System (EBS). As the first Roots, Tubers, and Bananas (RTB) crops fully managed within EBS, this milestone advances networked, data-driven breeding under CGIAR’s Breeding for Tomorrow vision. Through this integration, CIP enhances efficiency, transparency, and data stewardship, paving the way for faster development of climate-resilient, farmer- and consumer-preferred varieties while reinforcing CGIAR’s unified, secure, and sustainable breeding data ecosystem.

Description

From September 8–12, 2025, IRRI hosted a Train-the-Trainers program on the Enterprise Breeding System (EBS), empowering PhilRice participants to master EBS as part of their system, advanced integrations, and breeding data workflows. By preparing them as future trainers, the event strengthens capacity and drives wider adoption of digital innovations in rice breeding.

Rodolfo emphasized that “EBS doesn’t just make breeding or research easier—it shifts the focus from process management to actual discovery, which is the heart of research.”
