Background

In 2021, the international community celebrated the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables. The Secretariat of the International Treaty, in collaboration with the Global Crop Diversity Trust, convened an international panel of high-level experts to highlight the importance of the genetic diversity of fruits and vegetables for food and nutrition security.

Scope of the panel

The panel comprised high-level experts from FAO, other international organizations involved in food and agriculture, governments, private sector and civil society. 

The experts provided a global overview of the status of fruit and vegetable genetic resources, and presented experiences and challenges in the conservation, sharing and use of genetic resources of horticultural crops and fruit trees.

In particular, the experts discussed how genetic resources of fruit and vegetable are currently conserved, shared and used by international genebanks, national programmes, researchers and breeders, the seed sector and non-governmental organizations. The experts also showcased examples of development and production of fruit and vegetable varieties suited to diverse agro-systems and farming practices. The panel identified current challenges associated with the conservation and use of fruit and vegetable genetic resources as well as possible needs and actions for the future.
