Descripción
Sustainable management of the world’s animal genetic resources is of vital importance to agriculture, food production, rural development and the environment. The first International Technical Conference on Animal Genetic Resources to be held in Interlaken, Switzerland, in September 2007 will raise awareness among stakeholders and promote improved policy development and cooperation at all levels. This special issue of AGRI reflects the efforts made by governments, INGOs, NG Os, livestock keepers, and FAO in the area of animal genetic resources. It reviews the development of AnGRrelated activities, presents examples of breed improvement and conservation measures, and discusses a number of policy issues. Also included are 17 contributions highlighting national actions in animal genetic resources management that have been implemented subsequent to the preparation of the Country Reports on the State of Animal Genetic Resources.
