The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and
Agriculture (ITPGRFA) is a pivotal piece of recent legislation,
providing a route map for the use of such resources for sustainable
agriculture and food security.
Plant Genetic Resources and Food Security explains clearly the
different interests and views at stake between all players in the
global food chain. It touches upon many issues such as
international food governance and policy, economic aspects of food
and seed trade, conservation and sustainable use of food and
agricultural biodiversity, hunger alleviation, ecological concerns,
consumers' protection, fairness and equity between nations and
generations, plant breeding techniques and socio-economic benefits
related to food local economies.
The book shows that despite the conflicting interests at stake,
players managed to come to an agreement on food and agriculture for
the sake of food security and hunger alleviation in the world.
Published with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the
