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.
