ProjectStrengthening National Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) Programme in Belarus for Conservation and Use of Plant Genetic Resources - TCP/BYE/3601 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Belarus has prioritized agriculture, water and forestry as key sectors for adaptation to climate change, with special attention being given to the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) through the State Programme, "Mobilization and Sustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources of the National Bank for Breeding, Enriching of Cultivated and Natural Flora of Belarus". However, implementation of the programme has been slow. In addition, Belarus is not a contracting party to the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA). Breeding centres and institutes in the country depend on material from abroad; membership of ITPGRFA would facilitate the exchange of such material and the establishment of good relations with foreign institutes and companies. A further significant obstacle to effective conservation is the absence of PGR inventories. -

2022Also available in:
No results found.This book represents the proceedings of the First International Multi-stakeholder Symposium on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture: Technical Consultation on in situ conservation and on-farm management of PGRFA, held virtually on 29 and 30 March 2021. The proceedings provide a record of the Symposium, including the opening and welcome addresses and the four sessions: 1) challenges and opportunities for sustainably managing crop diversity; 2) in situ conservation of crop wild relatives and wild food plants; 3) on-farm management of farmers’ varieties/landraces; and, 4) creating communities of practice. The Symposium highlighted the current state of knowledge and the enabling environment for in situ conservation and on-farm management of PGRFA. It contributed to an increased understanding of the role and importance of in situ conservation of crop wild relatives and wild food plants, and on-farm management of farmers’ varieties/landraces. The Symposium provided a forum for the exchange of information and experiences among experts, practitioners and other stakeholders.
