The Benefit-sharing Fund: Crop diversity for food security
The Benefit-sharing Fund (BSF) is a fund established under the International Treaty to support projects that manage plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) for the benefit of farmers in developing countries. Activities supported by this Fund include conservation, characterization and development of these crop genetic resources and making them available for farmers to improve their livelihoods and increase food security. This brochure introduces us to the BSF.
