The FAO Global System on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
|
The FAO Global System on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriuclture
is envisaged as a set of policy instruments and mechanisms that can ensure
safe conservation and promote the availability and sustainable use of plant
genetic resources by providing a flexible framework for sharing benefits and
burdens.
The development of the Global System began in 1983 with the establishment
of the Commission on Plant Genetic Resources (now the Commission on
Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture - CGRFA).
The Global System is monitored by the CGRFA, and its Intergovernmental
Technical Working Group on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, and by the International Treaty on PGRFA.
