Synopsis (short abstract) The pattern of crop genetic diversity has changed over the past two centuries with the modernization of agriculture, accelerating with the advent of the green revolution. Since the green revolution, the locus of agricultural research has shifted from the public to the private sector. The growing importance of the private sector in agricultural R&D is changing the types of crop technologies that are developed and the ways they are delivered to farmers. The spread of transgenic crops will influenc e crop genetic diversity, but their implications for the availability of plant genetic resources and the resilience of agricultural ecosystems are not entirely clear. Transgenic crops may increase or decrease crop genetic diversity, depending on how they are regulated and deployed. This paper explores a range of policy options to increase the likelihood that private sector R&D, particularly in the form of transgenic crops, enhances rather than erodes crop genetic diversity.

    El virus de la peste porcina africana (PPA) continúa propagándose por todo el mundo con un enorme impacto socioeconómico. Se necesitan esfuerzos coordinados entre todas las partes interesadas relevantes para lograr el control de esta mortal enfermedad. Las asociaciones públicas y privadas (APP) pueden proporcionar un uso óptimo de las fortalezas únicas de ambos sectores cuando están bien planificadas e implementadas. En el contexto de la Iniciativa de Control Global de la PPA y como seguimiento del llamado a la acción de la FAO / OIE realizado en octubre de 2020, la FAO y la OIE organizaron el evento virtual sobre APP. "Stop ASF: Public and Private Partnering for Success" se llevó a cabo los días 14, 21 y 28 de junio de 2021 para resaltar la importancia y el papel de las APP y promover el compromiso y la colaboración de los sectores público y privado en la Iniciativa de Control Global de la PPA. El primer evento sobre APP para el control de la PPA se organizó en cooperación con la Secretaría Internacional de la Carne y en consonancia con la nueva Estrategia de la FAO para la participación del sector privado. Esta publicación es el informe del evento virtual FAO / OIE sobre la asociación público-privada "Stop ASF: Public and Private Partnering for Success" que tuvo lugar los días 14, 21 y 28 de junio de 2021.
