PORTLAND, Oregon\u00a0\u2014 World Coffee Research<\/strong> today that its Innovea Global Coffee Breeding Network<\/strong> has been named a TIME Best Invention of 2025<\/a>, recognizing its role in reshaping the future of coffee.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

TIME\u2019s annual list highlights 300 extraordinary innovations changing the way we live, work, and thrive. To compile the list, TIME solicited nominations from editors and correspondents worldwide and evaluated each contender on originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Launched in 2022, Innovea is the most ambitious coffee breeding effort in history. The network unites governments and research institutions across Latin America, Africa, and Asia to accelerate the pace of genetic improvement for both\u00a0Coffea arabica\u00a0and\u00a0Coffea canephora\u00a0(robusta).<\/p>\n

By leveraging cutting-edge breeding tools, a world-class scientific team, and global cooperation, Innovea is creating enhanced genetics at an unprecedented pace to deliver climate-resilient, disease-resistant, higher-yielding, and better-tasting coffee varieties.\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cInnovea embodies the power of global scientific collaboration,\u201d said Dr. Jennifer \u201cVern\u201d Long<\/strong>, CEO of World Coffee Research. \u201cWe are honored that TIME has recognized Innovea as a transformative force for the global coffee sector. We share this award with the 11 partners around the world who make up this unprecedented collaboration network and who together produce over 40% of the world\u2019s coffee.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
