Every seed conserved in a genebank holds the potential to secure our future food supply. With sustainable funding, genebanks become innovation hubs, equipping plant breeders and farmers with the tools they need to adapt crops to thrive in an ever-changing world. The European Commission generously contributes to the Crop Trust's long-term support for CGIAR international genebanks, such as those of the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas - ICARDA, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and International Rice Research Institute IRRI. #genebanks #conservation #biodiversity #cropdiversity #partnerships

Emergency Reserve for Genebanks: Laos
Thanks to the Emergency Reserve for Genebanks, managed by the International Plant Treaty and the Crop Trust through the #BOLDcwr project, the Rice and Cash Crops Research Center in Laos now has a new generator. With almost 15,000 seed samples, including crucial crops like glutinous rice, this genebank is a treasure trove for Laos' dietary staples. The backup energy ensures the security of these valuable resources. Learn more ➡️ https://buff.ly/3SQYZN0

The Seed Vault safeguards duplicates of over 1.2 million seed samples from almost every country in the world, with the purpose of backing up genebank collections to secure the foundation of our future food supply.
