Hosted by DuPont (NYSE: DD) business Pioneer-Hi-Bred, the intent of the meeting is to share research information among public and private organizations in order to help increase farm productivity, alleviate poverty and improve the human condition in drought-prone areas of the world.

The meeting of the Generation Challenge Programme (GCP), scheduled for Feb. 4 - 7, brings together the world's best scientists to focus on developing tools and technologies to help farmers in developing countries produce better crops.

"The top scientists from around the world are convening at Pioneer to share cutting-edge information to make progress toward one goal -- to enhance people's lives in developing countries," said William S. Niebur, vice president -- DuPont Crop Genetics, Research and Development. "As climatic conditions continue to change, it is critical that private and public sectors work together to develop crops that will allow farmers to maximize productivity on every acre."

Pioneer sponsorship of the meeting is part of its larger commitment to provide resources to public efforts, which help alleviate world hunger and malnutrition. The business is working closely with publicly funded research organizations to help improve the availability of advanced plant genetics for impoverished farmers.
