Synopsis (short abstract) The Benefit-sharing Fund of the International Plant Treaty enables small-scale farmers to access a wide range of plant genetic resources that are adapted to their needs. As a result, farmers grow different types of crops and plant varieties that taste better and are more nutritious. The Fund promotes a more sustainable farming for farmers and the planet. This brochure shows the approach, achievements and impact of the Benefit-sharing Fund. It can be shared with a wide range of stakeholders that work with plant genetic diversity.

Since its establishment in 2009, the Benefit-sharing Fund has supported 108 projects in 78 developing countries. This report provides a summary of activities, lessons and results achieved by projects active in the fourth and fifth funding cycles of the Fund. Following the programmatic approach, this report describes the launch of the Benefit-sharing Fund's Community of Practice, facilitating the collaboration and exchange of knowledge between projects supported by the Fund. The report is intended to contribute to raising awareness among policymakers, donors and other relevant stakeholders on the dynamic nature of the funding modality, which supports the implementation of interventions and uses funds strategically to play a catalytic role in international cooperation in the area of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
