The Second Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (SoWPGR-2)

Biodiversity

The SoWPGR-2 identifies the significant achievements in conservation and use of plant genetic diversity during the past decade and highlights the critical gaps and emerging challenges in this area. It emphasises that PGRFA are even more important today than in the past in face of the demands on agriculture to produce more food of higher quality while preserving the natural resource base.
