• 30% increase in climatic interdependence between countries
• 98% of countries more similar to others in 2050 than they currently are

A rational global system
for the efficient and effective
ex situ conservation and use
of PGRFA
Building a global system
• The Trust established under international law Oct. 2004
• Jointly founded by FAO and Bioversity (on behalf of CGIAR)
• Endowment fund Long-term grants ($1.8 mill/year)
+ project funds (e.g. Gates Foundation)
• Essential element of funding strategy of ITPGRFA
• Technical framework is Global Plan of Action
Building a global system
• Regenerating accessions at risk in priority collections 22 Annex 1 crops, 67 countries, 101 institutes, 214 collections, 81,000
accessions
identified by experts, regional/crop strategies, regional networks
multilingual regeneration guidelines
• Duplication in Svalbard Global Seed Vault from the regeneration projects on seed crops
other deposits from developing countries
in-trust seed collections held by CGIAR Centres
Regeneration in CAC
• Tajikistan – RNCGR Wheat, barley
• Uzbekistan – UzRIPI Sorghum, maize, wheat, barley
• Armenia – ASAU (ECPGR) Barley, wheat
• Azerbaijan – IGR (+ECPGR) Wheat, barley, pulses
• Georgia – GIF & GSAU (ECPGR) Maize, sorghum, wheat, pulses
Building a global system contd.
• Information and information systems GRIN-Global: data management system for genebanks
- http://www.grin-global.org/index.php/Main_Page
Genesys: global accession-level information portal
- SINGER
- EURISCO
- GRIN
- Others: Do you have data you’d like to share with the rest of the world?
Building a global system contd.
• A global initiative to collect and use crop wild relatives Norway-funded
Partnership with Millennium Seed Bank, Kew
Collaboration with national programmes, CGIAR Centres
Targeting “missing” diversity
http://gisweb.ciat.cgiar.org/GapAnalysis/
Of approx. 80,000 total accessions of annual Cicer species
There are 572 accessions of wild annual species
Only 124 of which are unique and distinct

Targeting threatened diversity
Not just conservation
• Project includes a use component Genotyping
- Phenotyping– Pre-breeding
• Aims Specific traits Base broadening
- For climate change adaptation
How to be a good global citizen
• Ratify the ITPGRFA SMTA
• Share data NISM (FAO)
Genesys
• Share responsibilities at national, regional level• Collaborate on research to solve common problems• Safety duplicate (at CGIAR Centres, Svalbard)• Communicate
