Nordic Genetic Resource Center

The Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen) is an organization that conserves and promotes the diversity of plant, animal, and forest genetic resources in Nordic countries. Its goal is to preserve genetic material, such as seeds and breeds, to ensure sustainable agriculture, forestry, and food security. By maintaining these valuable resources, NordGen supports farmers, breeders, and researchers in developing resilient crops, livestock, and forests that can adapt to changing environments and challenges. Essentially, it acts as a safeguard for the genetic diversity vital for future innovation and sustainability in the Nordic region.
