This document outlines Germany’s National Strategy for Genetic Resources in Food, Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, detailing the importance of preserving biodiversity for food security, climate adaptation, and sustainable production systems.
This document lays out Germany’s strategy for conserving and sustainably using the plant genetic resources of its agricultural and horticultural crops.
The conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity holds great potential for the transformation to climate-resilient food systems and more innovative development of rural regions. Yet, plant genetic diversity is rapidly disappearing. This policy brief explores what Germany and China can learn from each other to advance the policy agenda for agrobiodiversity.
China currently lacks a comprehensive agricultural biodiversity policy, despite the significant role of agriculture in the country’s economy and its vast natural resources. The absence of a cohesive framework has resulted in a range of overlapping and sometimes conflicting policies and laws that affect agricultural biodiversity.
