Visit <a href=http://www.planttreaty.org/"> the <i>ITPGRFA site internet </i>.</a> The Benefit-sharing Fund operates under the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. The genetic resources of our most important food crops – the “life insurance” for our food production – are managed by governments according to the provisions of the International Treaty. The Benefit-sharing Fund provides funding to conserve and develop these crop genetic resources in cooperat ion with farmers, assisting farming communities in developing countries improve food security by helping them cope with climate change and other threats to food production. Recent UN reports on climate change show that crop genetic resources can play a vital role in creating a more climate-resilient agriculture.
