Abstract
The breeding strategy implemented by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) is anchored in Agriculture 4.0 that aims to revolutionize the variety development system of the Philippines, thereby addressing the grand challenges the rice industry facing at present and in the future, considering the struggles of a sustainable agriculture in the face of global warming. It advocates a stronger and more cohesive variety development structure to keep up with the need of the times as well as climate change. Our breeders are challenged to produce a variety that will double the yield at the same time, climate and pest resistant with good eating quality and nutritious. Strategies implemented by PhilRice include the use of advanced methodologies in biotechnology and molecular biology as tools in developing rice varieties to hasten crop improvement, thereby addressing the grand challenges the rice industry facing at present and in the future.
