  • SDG 2.5: Maintain the Genetic Diversity in Food Production

    By 2020, maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks at the national, regional and international levels, and promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed.

    Our collections matter indicators

    • Collections development related to genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants, farmed and domesticated animals (notably of local or at-risk varieties) and related wild species, for example in herbaria, museums, seed and gene banks, and seed libraries.
    • Number of educational programmes related to genetic diversity of domesticated plants, animals and wild relatives.
    • Number of educational programmes related to fair and equitable benefits of use of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, following international agreements (e.g. Nagoya Protocol).
    • Number of educational and awareness programmes for people to ensure that they are aware of their rights and protections in terms of traditional knowledge, and exploitation of genetic resources.
    • Number of research activities that help understand traditional knowledge, and genetic diversity of crop plants and animals.
    • Ensure that producers of crop plants and animals are fairly compensated.
    • Policies and procedures in place to ensure seed banks are soundly managed, in terms of risk management and emergency planning.
    • Policies and procedures in place to ensure legal compliance with fair and equitable benefits of use of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, following international agreements (e.g. Nagoya Protocol).
    • Number of partnerships at national, regional and international levels, as appropriate, to soundly manage seed and plant banks.
