Project Support and Partners

While the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are the principal supporters of the broad mission of HarvestChoice, several other institutions and programs also provide support. Such support can be related to the development of data, methods and tools, to the performance of specific strategic studies, or to developing stakeholder capacity to use these products.
