4 3. The CIP strategic plan: The strategic objectives and programs Resilient Nutritious Sweetpotato Agile Potato for Asia Potato Seed for Africa Game Changing Solutions Resilient Food Systems Conserving Diversity for the Future 4. CIP and the APEC member economies There is overlap between CIP mission and the APEC road map to 2020, in areas of: Sustainable development of the agricultural sector Improving food safety and nutrition Promoting scientific cooperation, information sharing with gender considerations Disseminate agricultural technologies to adapt/mitigate the impact of climate change 3

5 A key example of collaboration: The Potato Genome Sequencing Consortium and Gene Discovery Platform: some APEC member economies (China, New Zealand, The USA, Peru, Chile), CIP & many others Xu, X. et al (2011). Genome sequence and analysis of the tuber crop potato. Nature475(7355). Sharma et al (2013). Construction of Reference Chromosome-Scale Pseudomolecules for Potato: Integrating the Potato Genome with Genetic and Physical Maps. G3 3: Asia Regional Sweetpotato Breeders and Seed Systems Network APEC member economies: China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, Viet Nam Annual Asia Sweetpotato Breeders Meeting May 31 June , Malang, Indonesia Purpose: Scientific exchange and capacity development Regional Breeding Platform to facilitate access to research material Collaborative scientific research in strategic areas 2016/17 research activities: Purple sweetpotato breeding in 5 economies Assessments of orange sweetpotato in PNG and Indonesia member economies Catalogue of orange sweetpotato for Asia 4

6 CIP in China member economy A China Liaison Office established in 1985 More than accessions mostly from potato, sweetpotato have been introduced 99 potato CIP-related varieties released About 1.2 M ha planted with these varieties Technology development on pest management, seed, storage, cropping systems Capacity development CIP China Center for Asia and the Pacific (CCCAP) established Investment from the Chinese government on facilities (laboratories) and equipment Cooperation 88 CIP in Indonesia member economy Collaborative work started about 30 years ago, but limited at the moment Topics included: Integrated pest management of potato, farmer field school approach Support for conservation ex situ and in situ of sweetpotato (secondary center of diversity) Support for potato as a cash crop in high poverty areas 15 CIP-related potato varieties released 5

7 CIP in The Philippines member economy Collaboration on potato started in mid-1980s on breeding and seed systems. Currently there is no collaboration on this crop Current collaboration on sweetpotato: Seed systems, including innovative virus identification and elimination Food security crop in home gardens Industrial and small-scale processing Genetic diversity and conservation in situ CIP in Papua New Guinea member economy Introduction of potato varieties with resistance to late blight Assessment of orange sweetpotato 6

8 CIP in Viet Nam member economy Long collaboration with Viet Nam Agricultural Science Institute on potato and sweetpotato Sweetpotato as pig feed, silage technology with gender considerations Through Urban Harvest, focus on root crop processing for starch and noodles as well as waste management Potato area (in ha) and share of CIP-related varieties in Asia 34% 334, ,000 <1% 462,030 6% 1,578,050 25% 4,969,569 8% 25,000 India China* Nepal Bangladesh Viet Nam* Indonesia* Pakistan Total area: 7.65Mha CIP-related: 1.41Mha (18%) 3% 75,772 7

9 CIP in Peru member economy CIP headquarters are in Peru since 1972 Long history of collaboration particularly on: Genetic resources conservation (19,000 accessions) and repatriation (7800 varieties back to 89 communities) Integrated pest management, farmer field schools method Crop management, climate change modeling Value chains: native potatoes for the market Nutrition through native potatoes New potato and sweetpotato varieties: 34 new potato varieties released, most popular covering 33% of potato area. Collaboration with INIA, Universities and NGOs Collaboration with other member economies 8

10 The USA member economy USAID and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are examples of key donors to CIP research and development activities Past, and on-going collaboration with several Universities: Florida, MSU, Wisconsin, Cornell, North Caroline State, Santa Barbara, UC Davis, Kansas State, Louisiana State, Missouri, Pennsylvania State, Virginia Tech. Topics of research include: Genomics of sweetpotato Potato late blight and other pest management Degeneration of seed of potato, sweetpotato and other roots and tubers Climate change modeling Policies and value chains Impact assessment and scaling methods Remote sensing for agriculture Genetic resources Nutrition Canada member economy IDRC another key donor to CIP research and development activities Past and on-going collaboration with McGill University, University of New Brunswick, University of Toronto, Ryerson U., Dalhousie U. and the Canadian Potato Genebank 4X 4X 2X 2X 3x 5X 2X 2X Topics of research include: Resistance to potato pests Micro livestock enterprises and horticulture for nutrition Genome sequencing for potato Fingerprinting and marker development for sweetpotato Potato Chromosome 2 3X 2X 2X 4x 9

11 Australia member economy ACIAR has been a key donors to CIP research and development activities, particularly in Asia, Past and on-going collaboration with: Australian National University, Canberra U., University of Adelaide, University of Queensland Topics of research include: Genome sequencing for potato Fingerprinting and marker development for sweetpotato Sweetpotato-pig systems Potato insect management (miner fly) Urban agriculture Japan member economy The government of Japan has supported CIP work in the past Topics of research include: Andean root and tuber diversity for the market Post harvest utilization of sweetpotato 10

12 Korea member economy Rural Development Administration (RDA) has been a key partner of CIP research and development activities Topics of research include: Potato late blight and other pest management Development of potato and sweetpotato varieties tolerant to heat Rapid multiplication methods for potato seed Workshops about potato in Asia systems New Zealand member economy New Zealand AID has been a key partner CIP research and development activities in the Andes Past collaboration with Landcare Research and AgResearch Topics of research included: Innovation and poverty alleviation in the Andes New market opportunities helping farmers to sell their products with added value Technological innovations driven by market demand Women s participation promoted in the different areas of the project 11

13 5. Concluding remarks Facing current and future challenges cannot be done by one organization working alone CIP s success has been due to collaborative efforts with a variety of partners of international, national, private sector and civil society including those from APEC member economies Great opportunity for potato and sweetpotato to contribute to food security and other Sustainable Development Goals CIP is ready to contribute to the APEC road map The International Potato Center (known by its Spanish acronym CIP) is a research-for-development organization with a focus on potato, sweetpotato, and Andean roots and tubers. CIP is dedicated to delivering sustainable science-based solutions to the pressing world issues of hunger, poverty, gender equity, climate change and the preservation of our Earth s fragile biodiversity andnaturalresources. w ww.cipotato.org CIP is a member of CGIAR CGIAR is a global agriculture research partnership for afoodsecurefuture. Its science is carried out by the 15 research centers who are members of the CGIAR Consortiumin collaborationw ithhundreds of partnerorganizations. Thank you very much 12
