POLICY ISSUES FOR THE CONSERVATION AND UTILISATION OF HORTICULTURAL GENETIC RESOURCES FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE |
| Author: | U. G. Menini |
| Abstract:
This paper has been developed on the basis of existing FAO documentation and, in some instances, by collating information extracted from documents prepared during the last 10 years for the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources and various other FAO technical meetings related to the conservation and utilisation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. Although some of the considerations developed in this paper might seem to address issues of a general character, they are nonetheless quite applicable to horticultural genetic resources. The document should be regarded as an approach intended to stimulate reflection during the elaboration of a global research policy for the development and improvement of horticultural production through the conservation and best use of horticultural genetic diversity. | |
