Strengthening Food Security by Ensuring Availability of Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture - GCP/GLO/844/GER

Ensuring that appropriate genetic resources for food and agriculture with relevant traits are available and accessible for research and breeding is crucial to food security. At the same time, it is widely acknowledged that countries have the sovereign right to exploit their genetic resources, including the right to control and limit access to them and to claim benefits arising from their utilization. The project supported the convening of the International Workshop on Access and Benefit-Sharing for Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which assisted countries in identifying and raising awareness of the distinctive features and specific practices of the different subsectors of genetic resources for food and agriculture in the context of the “Elements to facilitate domestic implementation of access and benefit-sharing for different subsectors of genetic resources for food and agriculture”. The Workshop strengthened the strategic partnerships of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture with other instruments and organizations.
