RESEARCH PROJECT

Breeder co-pilot - optimizing plant breeding with AI

Updated: February 2026

Project overview

Project manager: Aakash Chawade
Funded by: SLU Grogrund

Short summary

The goal of the project is to develop methods and tools that help plant breeders design more effective breeding programs by combining stochastic simulations and AI-driven analyses to more quickly develop climate-resilient crops and strengthen food security.

This includes collecting and using data more intelligently and choosing optimal strategies under climate uncertainty.
