- The exciting discoveries of molecular biology are not being used in ways to realize their maximum benefit for the world¿s poor; neither are the rich pools of genetic resources that exist in collections held by national agricultural research systems (NARS) and the Future Harvest Centers of the…
- [The focus of the CP needs to be rethought. Twenty two crops are considered, but there is only a single target (tolerance of drought stress). While relevant as a model system, choosing only drought tolerance ¿sets the bar very high.¿ A few other model traits, for example those relating to disease…
- A Global Initiative to exploit biotechnology and animal genetic resources for the improvement of livestock productivity through control of trypanosomosis. Objectives: increase productivity through integrated control of trypanosomosis; poverty alleviation; improved food security.

- ¿The countries represented in the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture are presently re-negotiating the International Undertaking, in harmony with the CBD, that will most likely be binding, and that seeks to establish a multilateral system for facilitated access to, and…
- The paper discusses possible approaches to promote partnerships in the area of underutilized species/minor crops. IPGRI has several years of experience in this domain, involving a variety of stakeholders, sharing efforts in addressing the better conservation and use of these species across regions…
- "Biotechnology is a new area of science and one where developing countries¿ National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) are particularly weak. In all areas of research, GFAR can help NARS to establish partnerships, by facilitating access to information and by fostering information exchange.…
