Abstract
The new World Vegetable Center strategy builds on the successful foundation of its predecessor, marked by significant growth and the adoption of a collaborative research model rooted in Open Science. With strong support from the government of Taiwan, the Center has modernized its research infrastructure at its headquarters, and expanded its global presence. This strategic shift has accelerated the development and adoption of climate-resilient vegetable varieties, sustainable production methods, and improved postharvest technologies. It has also strengthened market connectivity through innovative ‘vegetable business networks’.
