The tools developed under the framework of the programme CAPFITOGEN represent an effort to bring some scientific and technological advances to the technical community working at the national entities on conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources. Each tool is designed to make efficient and easy certain tasks that until now were more complex and required expert knowledge of computer programming languages such as Java and R. The tools are designed to help in decision-making in countries with many plant genetic resources to conserve and limited economic resources for this work. The tools are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese and they are described in this manual.

The cultivation of diverse farmers’ varieties/landraces, which tend to be well-adapted and suited to local production systems, confers increased resilience for crop production. Farmers’ varieties/landraces are also potential sources of traits for crop improvement, especially for developing varieties tolerant to biotic and abiotic stresses and for incorporating farmer-preferred traits. Unfortunately, many of these genetic resources have been replaced by modern cultivars in recent decades, resulting in a reduction in the total number of different varieties grown and/or loss of heterogeneity. Such losses make farming systems less resilient, especially to shocks from abiotic and biotic stresses. These guidelines, intended as reference materials for preparing a National Plan for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Farmers’ Varieties/Landraces, will contribute to addressing this continuing loss of diversity. The guidelines are therefore a useful tool for development practitioners, researchers, students and policymakers who work on the conservation and sustainable use of these valuable resources.

Bajo el auspicio del Tratado Internacional sobre los Recursos Fitogen�ticos para la Alimentaci�n y la Agricultura (TIRFAA) y la Agencia Espa�ola de Cooperaci�n Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID), entre los a�os 2008 y 2010 se desarrollaron dos talleres para la implementaci�n del TIRFAA en el grupo de los pa�ses de Am�rica Latina y el Caribe (GRULAC) en Cartagena de Indias (Colombia, julio-agosto de 2008) y La Antigua (Guatemala, agosto de 2010). El �xito de esta actividad demostr� la efectividad de este tipo de talleres en contribuir a la implementaci�n de los objetivos del TIRFAA dentro de la comunidad de pa�ses GRULAC. La coordinaci�n de los talleres entre la Secretar�a del TIRFAA, la AECID, el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Medio Rural y Marino y el Centro Nacional de Recursos Fitogen�ticos del Instituto Nacional de Investigaci�n y Tecnolog�a Agraria y Alimentaria CRF-INIA ha sido un factor decisivo en la consecuci�n de los objetivos, dado el firme compromiso de Espa�a con el TIRFAA y los estrechos lazos existentes entre los Programas Nacionales de Conservaci�n de Recursos Fitogen�ticos e Institutos Nacionales de Investigaci�n Agr�cola (INIAs) de los pa�ses del GRULAC y Espa�a. La buena experiencia cosechada en talleres previos y la importancia de impulsar algunos objetivos del TIRFAA en Am�rica Latina y el Caribe, en particular los contenidos en los art�culos 5, 6, 7, 8 y 13.2 c, represent� un incentivo clave para dar continuidad a este tipo de actividades. A la vez se hizo evidente la necesidad de dar mayor profundidad y contenido t�cnico a la continuidad a los talleres, estableciendo un programa de transferencia de tecnolog�a, donde los talleres representan un elemento dentro de una estrategia de acci�n m�s amplia. Tomando como base estos antecedentes y las necesidades de la regi�n fue implementado el Programas para el Fortalecimiento de las Capacidades en Programas Nacionales de Recursos Fitogen�ticos de Am�rica Latina - CAPFITOGEN. Este programa est� enfocado en el desarrollo de tecnolog�as apropiadas para pa�ses con abundante agrobiodiversidad y limitados recursos econ�micos. Su funci�n es la de desarrollar la tecnolog�a, transferirla y proveer formaci�n adecuada al personal t�cnico de los pa�ses de Am�rica Latina que son parte del Tratado.

El cultivo de diferentes variedades de los agricultores/variedades locales, que suelen estar bien adaptadas y ser adecuadas para los sistemas de producción locales, confiere una mayor resiliencia a la producción agrícola. Las variedades de los agricultores/variedades locales también constituyen posibles fuentes de rasgos para el mejoramiento de los cultivos, especialmente para desarrollar variedades tolerantes a factores de estrés bióticos y abióticos y para incorporar rasgos preferidos por los agricultores. Lamentablemente, en las últimas décadas muchos de estos recursos genéticos han sido sustituidos por cultivares modernos, lo que ha resultado en una reducción del número total de variedades distintas cultivadas y en la pérdida de heterogeneidad. Estas pérdidas reducen la resiliencia de los sistemas agrícolas, especialmente frente a las perturbaciones causadas por factores de estrés abióticos y bióticos. Las presentes Directrices, concebidas como material de referencia para la elaboración de un Plan nacional para la conservación y la utilización sostenible de variedades de los agricultores/variedades locales, contribuirán a frenar esta continua pérdida de diversidad. Las Directrices son, por consiguiente, un instrumento útil para profesionales del desarrollo, investigadores, estudiantes y responsables de la formulación de políticas que trabajan en la conservación y la utilización sostenible de estos valiosos recursos.

The report summarizes results from a cooperation among all the Nordic countries during the period 2015 – 2019 (two projects). The work has focused on the conservation of Crop Wild Relatives (CWR), i.e. wild plant species closely related to crops. They are of special importance to humanity since traits of potential value for food security and climate change adaptation can be transferred from CWR into crops. The projects represent the first joint action on the Nordic level regarding in situ conservation of CWR. Substantial progress has been made regarding CWR conservation planning, including development of a Nordic CWR checklist and identification of suitable sites for CWR conservation. A set of recommended future actions was developed, with the most important one being initiation of active in situ conservation of CWR in all Nordic countries.

La culture de diverses variétés des agriculteurs/variétés locales qui sont généralement bien adaptées et se prêtent aux systèmes de production locaux, confère une résilience accrue à la production agricole. Les variétés des agriculteurs/variétés locales sont aussi des sources potentielles de traits utilisables pour l’amélioration des plantes cultivées, en particulier pour développer des variétés tolérantes aux stress biotiques et abiotiques et pour incorporer des traits privilégiés pour les agriculteurs. Malheureusement, au cours des décennies récentes, bon nombre de ces ressources génétiques ont été remplacées par des cultivars modernes, ce qui entraîne une diminution du nombre total de variétés cultivées et/ou une perte d’hétérogénéité. Ces pertes réduisent la résilience des systèmes de culture, en particulier aux chocs découlant de stress biotiques et abiotiques. Ces Directives, élaborées pour servir de référence dans la préparation d’un Plan national pour la conservation et l’utilisation durable des variétés des agriculteurs/variétés locales, contribueront à endiguer cette perte constante de diversité. Elles seront utiles aux spécialistes du développement, aux chercheurs, aux étudiants et aux responsables politiques qui œuvrent pour la conservation et l’utilisation durable de ces ressources précieuses.

The availability of comprehensive and reliable information is crucial for developing evidence-based policies and strategies for the conservation and use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. Information on food and agricultural crops, on their use, interdependence, demand, supply, and security is increasingly available but scattered through a number of information systems, databases and scientific literature. This study was undertaken by a team of international experts to pool together information from a wide range of sources in a user-friendly manner and to develop a reproducible set of metrics and indicators, complementing existing indicators. The main global database sources consulted include FAOSTAT, the Data Store of the International Treaty, FAO WIEWS, Genesys PGR, GBIF, PlantSearch, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault’s SeedPortal, UPOV’s PLUTO database, and NCBI’s Entrez database. The resulting metrics were organized into five domains – crop use, interdependence, demand, supply, and security.The study includes findings about the importance of the Multilateral System of Access and Benefit-sharing of the International Treaty, the primary global operational mechanism to exchange plant germplasm needed for research and breeding around the world, while pointing at gaps and possibilities to enable its growth.A number of vignettes complete the study with information on contemporary issues on crop conservation and use, to further showcase how the management of plant genetic diversity is evolving at present.It is hoped that this publication will support countries, researchers, breeders and other stakeholders in prioritizing activities, implementing multilateral frameworks and leading policy discussions related to plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
