 In the past century, part of the world's food crop diversity has disappeared forever. But with a growing global population and a rapidly changing climate, we are more dependent than ever on agro-biodiversity. We need to grow crops that are resilient, productive and nutritious. To do this, farmers, breeders and researchers must be able to access, conserve and sustainably use the plants that feed us. Countries need to collaborate and include all stakeholders and sustainable solutions for a healthy and robust food system must be promoted. The International Plant Treaty fosters the saving and sharing of seeds. One of its components, the Benefit Sharing Fund, is part of an ambitious funding strategy to use agro-biodiversity for food security and sustainable development. The Benefit Sharing Fund enables small-scale farmers in developing countries to access a wide range of seeds that are adapted to their needs, giving farmers options to grow crops with specific traits, higher yielding, pest resistant, drought resilient and more nutritious and better tasting. Projects in the fund strengthen local seed systems through initiatives such as community seed banks and seed exchange fairs. Local conservation efforts get better connected to national and international gene banks and eventually to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The Fund invests in research and innovation to build resilience in the face of climate change. Researchers identify potential strong traits, matching the needs of farmers. Together with farmers, they test and develop new varieties in the field. Scientists and breeders exchange their knowledge globally and increase their technical capacities. Our interdependence on seed diversity calls for increased international collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders. The Benefit Sharing Fund works closely with over 500 institutions, including farmers groups, development partners, researchers, seed dealers and policymakers. They work on a variety of approaches and support the implementation of solutions and best practices across climates, countries and regions. To date, the Benefit Sharing Fund has benefited over a million people through 80 projects in 67 developing countries, transforming food systems and helping farmers use crop varieties best suited to their unique environmental conditions. Best practices, knowledge and germplasm generated in the projects are made available through the treaty mechanism to encourage sustainable agriculture and to improve food and nutrition security. Join us and help farmers, breeders and researchers take care of the seeds and plants that feed us all.
