Description

Thank you for visiting our digital exhibition booth! The Global Crop Diversity Trust, known as the Crop Trust, is an international organization dedicated to safeguarding crop diversity and making it available for use to ensure future food security. We work with genebanks around the world to support them in conserving their seeds and making them available to breeders and farmers so they can develop new, resilient crop varieties that are adapted to face threats like climate change. Sign up for our monthly Crop Topics newsletter to learn more about the foundation of your food and catch the latest news, events, science blogs and more. Subscribe here 👉 https://buff.ly/2MBDdLH
