Lima, Peru: A Missed Moment for the Future of Plant Genetic Resources

Описание: In November, 154 countries gathered in Lima, Peru to decide the future of how plant genetic resources are shared worldwide. Specifically, their goal was to enhance the functioning of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. The stakes were high: modern breeding, biodiversity, and global food security all hang in the balance.

So what actually happened?

In this interview, we break down the outcome of the FAO Treaty discussions with two experts who were inside the room: Michael Keller, Secretary General of the International Seed Federation, and Jasmina Muminović, Chair of ISF’s Genetic Resources Coordination Group and Head of Genetic Resources at Bayer.

They explain why expectations were high going into Lima, why talks ultimately stalled, and what this means for access to genetic resources, benefit sharing, digital sequence information, and the future of plant breeding.

If you work in seed, breeding, policy, or agricultural innovation, this conversation offers essential context on where the system stands today … and where it may go next.
