About CWR
Crop wild relatives are the wild ‘cousins’ of our cultivated crops. In the same way that the wolf is related to the dog, CWR are related to our food plants.

You can view the partners by the crop genepools with which they work.By Country Summary
You can view the partners by the country in which they are based.
