The Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

• 1983 - plant genetic resources

• 1995 - Commission’s mandate to cover all components of biodiversity for food and agriculture

• Permanent forum to specifically discuss and negotiate matters relevant to all components of biological diversity for food and agriculture

The Commission’s vision

Conserving biodiversity for food and agriculture and promoting its use in support of

global food security and sustainable development, for present and future

generations.
