Project 2 Outputs
Output 1
Outcome
Impact
Wild and cultivated genetic resources of potato,
sweetpotato and nine other root and tuber crops
are acquired with their associated information,
securely conserved and made available by 2013
Good quality germplasm collection with on-line
database securely conserved and available for
distribution as international public goods
Sustainable use of biodiversity according to FAO
International Treaty, and improve farmers
livelihoods through securing food availability

Project 2 Outputs
Output 2
Outcome
Impact
The genetic diversity of potato, sweetpotato and
nine other root and tuber crops is characterized
and documented by 2013
CIP, NAR, ARI and university researchers use
information and selected germplasm for genetic
enhancement and improvement, and other research
Genetic resources knowledge and material
contribute to alleviate poverty, reduce temporal
and chronic hunger, and improve access to
nutritious food by supporting CIPs and CIP
partners research on root and tuber crop
