 Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished delegates, thank you to Prime Minister Modi and the Government of India for hosting this session of the International Trade on Planetary Network Resources for Food and Air Culture. I'm pleased that this session is celebrated by smallholder farmers as guardians of a crop diversity. They are food heroes and their contribution should be recognized. For almost two decades, the trade has brought together a few members to have the conserved and sustainable use of planetary genetic resources. And it provides a large global exchange of mechanisms for planetary geneticists. And the trade combines both food security and the biodiversity protection. Two issues that they are at the core of the 2030 agent and the sustainable development goals. Dear colleagues, the world is heading for a population of nine billion. At the same time, the impact of the climate crisis and biodiversity laws are putting pressure on air culture. We must feed more people with less, with fewer input and the safety of our natural resources. The pandemic and our ongoing conflict are affecting the way we produce supply and the consumer of food. They have shown us how fragile our explosives are and have put our global supply chain and pressure. To deal with these challenges, we must increase the use of the diverse and resilient crops and their genetic resources. We must conserve the source of our food and our culture, our seeds and other planet genetic material. The future of the food is dependent. The public and the private sectors, farmers and the economy are needed to pick up the efforts to use genetic biodiversity sustainably and ensure they are made available for breeders and the researchers to enable innovation. It will allow us to adapt our crops to the growing impact of the climate crisis and be more resilient to shocks in supply chains. The treaty is central to achieving these objectives. But to do so, we need the capacity development, solid institutions of strong partnerships. Currently, the number of the contracting parties of the treaty is 149 and I'm committed to supporting efforts to get all effort members to sign up to the treaty. Making this treaty truly universal will have to ensure that the cultural diversity is served, shared and cared for. We must conserve this treasure for our descendants, for the food security of the current and future generations. And therefore, they improve the resilience and the preservation of our planning. Planned genetic resources are critical to better production, better nutrition, better environment, and better life for all, maybe no one behind. I wish you fruitful deliberations and successful outcomes. Thank you.
