THE HEAT AND DROUGHT WHEAT IMPROVEMENT CONSORTIUM (HEDWIC)
HeDWIC is a network that facilitates global coordination of wheat research to adapt to a future with more severe weather extremes, specifically heat and drought. It delivers new technologies to wheat breeders worldwide via the International Wheat Improvement Network (IWIN), coordinated for more than half a century by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center.
