The Second Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

<p>This report updates the global assessment provided in the first report on <i>The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture</i>, published in 2007. It focuses particularly on changes that have occurred during the period since the first report was published. It serves as a basis for a review, and potential update, of the Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources, which since 2007 has provided an agreed international framework for the management of livestock biodiversity. Drawing on 129 country reports, it presents an analysis of the state of livestock diversity, the influence of livestock-sector trends on the management of animal genetic resources, the state of capacity to manage animal genetic resources, including legal and policy frameworks, and the state of the art in tools and methods for characterization, valuation, use, development and conservation.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.fao.org/publications/about-us/distributors/en/">Purchase a print copy.</a></p>
