Webinar: Safeguarding the World’s Food Supply – An Introduction to the Crop Trust
October 17 @ 16:00 - 17:00
Join The Global Plant Council for a new webinar with the help of Janny van Beem (Crop Trust global genebank partnership coordinator), where we will explore the work done by The Global Crop Diversity Trust (Crop Trust).
Crop Trust is an international organization committed to preserving the world’s crop diversity. As climate change, population growth, and environmental challenges threaten food security, Crop Trust ensures that the genetic diversity of crops remains protected for future generations. During the webinar you’ll learn how Crop Trust supports global seed banks, including the renowned Svalbard Global Seed Vault, and how its work contributes to resilient agriculture and sustainable food systems. For plant scientists, the webinar will highlight opportunities for collaboration in crop conservation and research.
