Book (stand-alone)The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture 2007The wise management of the world’s agricultural biodiversity is becoming an ever greater challenge for the international community. The livestock sector in particular is undergoing dramatic changes as large-scale production expands in response to surging demand for meat, milk and eggs. A wide portfolio of animal genetic resources is crucial to adapting and developing our agricultural production systems. Climate change and the emergence of new and virulent animal diseases underline the need to re tain this adaptive capacity. For hundreds of millions of poor rural households, livestock remain a key asset, often meeting multiple needs, and enabling livelihoods to be built in some of the world’s harshest environments. Livestock production makes a vital contribution to food and livelihood security, and to meeting the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It will be of increasing significance in the coming decades. And yet, genetic diversity is under threat. The reported rate of breed extinctions is of great concern, but it is even more worrying that unrecorded genetic resources are being lost before their characteristics can be studied and their potential evaluated. Strenuous efforts to understand, prioritize and protect the world’s animal genetic resources for food and agriculture are required. Sustainable patterns of utilization must be established. Traditional livestock keepers – often poor and in marginal environments – have been the stewards of much of our animal geneti c diversity. We should not ignore their role or neglect their needs. Equitable arrangements for benefit-sharing are needed, and broad access to genetic resources must be ensured. An agreed international framework for the management of these resources is crucial.

Book (stand-alone)Status Terkini Dunia Sumberdaya Genetik Ternak Untuk Pangan Dan Pertanian 2009Manajemen berkelanjutan keragaman genetik ternak dunia merupakan hal yang sangat penting untuk bidang pertanian, produksi pangan, pembangunan pedesaan dan lingkungannya. The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture merupakan pengkajian pertama tentang sumberdaya tersebut. Seperti digambarkan dalam 169 laporan Negara, sumbangan dari sejumlah organisasi internasional dan khususnya 12 laporan tematik, menampilkan analisis keragaman sektor peternakan - asal usul dan pen gembangan, pemanfaatan dan nilai, penyebaran dan pertukaran, status resiko dan ancaman – dan kapasitas untuk memanfaatkan sumberdaya tersebut – baik secara kelembagaan, kebijakan dan aturan legal, aktivitas breeding dan program konservasi. Kebutuhan dan peluang dikaji dalam konteks untuk kekuatan mengubah sistem produksi ternak. Perangkat dan metode untuk meningkatkan pemanfaatan dan pengembangan SDGT disajikan dalam bagian status terkini tentang karakterisasi, perubahan genetik, evaluasi nilai ekonomis dan konservasi. Ringkasan Laporan Status Sumber Daya Genetik Ternak Dunia untuk Pangan dan Pertanian (The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture) disajikan dalam Versi Arab, Cina, Inggris, Perancis, Rusia dan Spanyol. Juga tersedia sebuah dokumen, penyusunan tentang status terkini sumberdaya genetik ternak yang dapat menjadi acuan pngembangan kebijakan dan Rencana Aksi Global untuk Sumber Daya Genetik Ternak, apabila telah diadopsi, akan menjadi agenda un tuk dilaksanakan oleh masyarakat internasional.

Book (series)The Second Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture 2010
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 studie s 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 genet ic resources for the future.
