Event Description

Crop diversity is a part of our world heritage and one of the most important global public goods we have. It has always been the basis for food production to adapt to changing conditions and to be resilient. But while this adaptability is becoming increasingly important in times of global change, crop diversity is under ever-greater threat. The aim of the seminar is to highlight the necessity of conserving crop diversity, but also to show the great opportunities that are associated with its use.
