Nordic Genetic Resource Centre

The Nordic Genetic Resource Centre (NordGen) is an organization that preserves and manages important plant, animal, and forest genetic resources from Nordic countries like Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Its goal is to safeguard biodiversity, support sustainable agriculture, forestry, and food production, and provide these genetic materials to farmers, researchers, and breeders. By maintaining seed banks, animal breeds, and forest tree collections, NordGen helps ensure resilience against pests, diseases, and climate change, contributing to the long-term health and diversity of natural and cultivated resources in the Nordics.
