A five-day road trip in Morocco to document a pre-breeding project for durum wheat, lentil and barley. Also a few hours to document the genebank of ICARDA and grasspea breeding.

Barley is the fourth most produced grain globally but is not currently attracting sufficient funding to ensure long-term breeding programs. The Crop Wild Relatives Project, which is financially supported by the Government of Norway, is helping to fill that gap by funding a barley pre-breeding project. Photo: Michael Major/Crop Trust
