Global Crop Diversity Trust

The Global Crop Diversity Trust, also known as Crop Trust, is an international organization dedicated to ensuring the conservation and availability of crop genetic diversity. It recognizes that diverse crops are essential for food security, sustainable agriculture, and resilience to climate change. By funding and supporting gene banks and research efforts, the trust works to preserve seeds of various plants, protecting them from extinction. This helps farmers adapt to changing environments and maintain a stable food supply globally. Essentially, Crop Trust aims to safeguard the genetic resources that underpin the world's agriculture and food systems.
