Number of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture secured in either medium or long-term conservation facilities

Number of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture secured in either medium or long-term conservation facilities

The conservation of plant and animal genetic resources for food and argiculture(GRFA) in medium or long term conservation facilities (ex situ, in genebanks) represents the most trusted means of conserving genetic resources worldwide.

National Coordinators for Management of Animal Genetic Resources, nominated by their respective government, provide data to the Domestic Animal Diversity Information System (DAD-IS), and the FAO calculates the indicator based on the data received by the DAD-IS.
