Plant genetic resources provide a basis for food security, livelihood
support and economic development as a major component of biodiversity. The
Second Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources for Food
and Agriculture demonstrates the central role plant genetic diversity
continues to play in shaping agriculture growth in the face of climate
change and other environmental challenges. It is based on information
gathered from Country Reports, regional syntheses, thematic studies and
scientific literature, documenting the major achievements made in this
sector during the past decade and identifying the critical gaps and needs
that should urgently be addressed. The Report provides the decision-makers
with a technical basis for updating the Global Plan of Action on
Conservation and Sustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and
Agriculture. It also aims to attract the attention of the global community
to set priorities for the effective management of plant genetic resources
for the future.
